I would be very interested in Dyno before and after install. Even if you have to wait for you software to catch up to the change. I just hate to feel like a sucker.
My friend did put a vornado or what ever in his ford. He swears by it. I didn't have the heart to show him the true data on it. I think its similar to those magnets you put on your wrist or those pads you put on the bottom of your feet. 
I have the utmost respect for pedro as his "free" site has saved me a small fortune. Anybody that goes to that much trouble to help other Boxster owners, has my vote for man of the year.

Following Pedro's postings, hacks, explanations etc. for a number of years, I can tell you he made the switch to 10W30 for a good reason. If I recall correctly, it had to do w/ stopping the weeping from his RMS. Plus, the first # in the oil rating doesn't apply as much to his climate - south FL as the first # in the oil's weight rating is it's cold flow rating. Cold in south FL is just a tad bit different than cold here in PA (or OH) for 50 weeks or so of the year...

Oh man......I'm buying it. Just give me a month or so.
I don't see what the point or porting and polishing the piece would be,wouldn't it make sense if the throttle body was ported and polished with it?
Does anyone know if the 3.2L S and the 3.4L 996 engine share the same plenum?

... and ported. I highly recommend everyone do it.
My goal in making the TechnoTorque was to get as much efficiency as possible in the flow of air.
Because the factory "Tees" are left with all of the mold seams and rough surfaces, the first step was to polish to get laminar air flow.
The early 996s (3.4L) from '99 and '00 share the same Tee as the '97 through '99 Boxsters.
The '00 through '04 Boxsters need to go with the TechnoTorque2 which is somewhat different, but works in the same manner as the TechnoTorque.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

Well my Pops has a 01' 3.4L....so would the 00'+ TechnoTorque2 work on it as well?

... (I've never used 10W30) quite a few years ago, as Burg says.
When my car developed an RMS leak, I decided to try a heavier blend (15W50) and it completely cured my leak.
I've been using it ever since.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

I stand corrected, I might need a monitor upgrade as It looked like 10W30 on my itty bitty screen. Thanks for the corrections, I will edit accordingly.
