Regarding the Crios mod I suggest you first use a sharp-tipped punch or spike to indent the spot to be drilled. Then use a small bit such as .125, then .25 and then final.
Another bit of un-asked for advice- modify slowly as you can easily lose qualities without realizing/ missing them. This because Porsche is so precise with their end product that it's easy to screw it up.
Oh, and your first mod should be to 'desnorkle'. Trust me.
First, thanks everyone for the positive feedback.

Woodsman ... I took your suggestion and de-snorkeled this afternoon. The snorkel popped right out. Hardest part was getting the vent out (I was fearful of snapping something). Boy was it worth the effort. That 'WAMP!' sound is music to the ears and the way I envisioned this car sounding.

Still no luck with the Crios mod. I even picked up a concrete punch at Lowes. I'm not exactly sure where the holes should go; the pics I've seen look like they start right after the seam and angle up ... while other pics look like the holes are further back into the pipe.
