They've done this a few times. I'm not sure if they're going to use the 987 MAF holder/tube thing with the screen or somehow use the one from my 986 airbox. I was still surprised by its size when the box arrived yesterday, and continue to be impressed by what members of this forum contribute!
Much better airflow if you retain the 987 MAF tube but then you have to program the DME with the 996 tune or a custom tune.
