As you guys know, Ben has a few of us beta testing the unit for fit, performance, strength etc.

I would suggest changing the end of the plenum from concave to straight like the 986 oem and adding the groove for the boot to fit on.

I thought my unit was not wide enough due to me having issues with the boot not providing a good seal. I measured it against the oem. The issue is the edge of the plenum. It slopes downward. My clamps right at where the unit starts sloping down. I can't get a good seal. I have the other side of the boot on the groove of the intake manifold. For me to get it to seal, I have to move the boot off the intake manifold groove and closer to the plenum.

Since I have to order the silicone, a solution would be to replace the boots with two of these which would give the seal I need plus look cool
