All of the parts arrived yesterday and today. I have the 987 airbox with snorkel, 987 MAF housing, rubber hose from MAF to throttle body, and 987 "split" T that the throttle body mounts to and the matching hose to AOS that goes to the ports on either side of the T. I went over to a shop today on a break from shopping and mocked it up on 986 engine and everything looks like it will mount right up. The only question is what to do with the vacuum controlled flap in the T.

I did find a picture of a stock 550 edition '04 engine compartment a few days ago (a UK site maybe?), but I can't find it again. As we all know, it uses the 987 airbox, but with the 986 throttle to intake T. There is no different part listed for the throttle body to MAF hose, but it is obviously different than both the "normal' 986 and 987 parts. I have seen it before where Porsche will have parts on cars without showing the part numbers in the parts breakdowns. So, I would like to see the actual 986 550 throttle body to MAF housing hose and its part number if possible.

I did also noticed that in the parts diagram they have a part 98711026000 listed as "Stopper" that is not in the diagram, but goes with the 550 edition in the Throttle Body diagrams, which is not used on other cars. I would be interesting to see what that is as well.
