For those interested in upgrading the "T", the Thread linked may be useful& cheaper than the plan mentioned in the quotes:
Intake plenum and 911 throttle body

Odd.

I also found the split intake T from an '05 987 S with the vacuum flap and PCV hose. With these parts I THINK I will be able to bolt everything in using all factory parts. I haven't yet checked the vacuum control diagrams to see if the vacuum valve was control separately from the other intake flap.

Has anyone tried the either the early or later 3.4L 987 throttle body T on a 986? It does move the throttle body down and back closer to the MAF housing. Hopefully this won't have clearance issues on the 986.
