had the same thing happen to me (1 gun shot sound) and 986 was really under powered and I kept going back to maf and aos replacements till i did some research and made the proper fix.
Im talking about part 14 in the image below.

So glad to read this, my car suddenly failed on the highway and started stalling afterwards. I heard a loud short bang twice while starting the car several times. Sounds exactly like what I'm reading here. I've informed my garage on what I read. Let's see what the issue is... Anyway, this is what I like about forums such as these!
