No, these retain the stock TB but add a "divider", the first purpose of my is to use a bigger throttle body.

I took the measurement on my boxster 2.7 wich share its intake with the 3.2, so I already have the measurement.

I can make it any way you want, straight T, with a little turn, divider, no divider, wright anything on it ... etc

Ah, got it. Well, good question. I don't know what I don't know on this. "A larger TB with better air flow" does sound good. I don't know if that translates to as to turns, dividers, straight, etc.

What are you recommending for increased performance? King, you seem to know a bit about this, what is you take? :-)

Freeing up the power potential on the 3.2 S

Hey Guys, I'm new to the Boxster world but have owned several other Porsche's from the air-cooled era. Not to worry, I sold them out before they became ridiculously valuable so I could retain my original buy high, sell low strategy.

My 2001 S is crazy clean, like near showroom (probably never spent a night outdoors in its 42,000 miles traveled), but I would like to capture it's full potential if possible. I drove it straight to the professionals upon purchase to have the IMS bearing replaced for peace-of-mind for starters.

My question is, can I change the headers, cats & mid-pipes, plenum, throttle valve and air box without sending the ECU into protest via check-engine light? My plan is to retain the stock outward appearance and not compromise practicality. If it's possible, I'll commit, if not I'll continue to live with the strangled 250HP.

The TechnoTorque is a larger intake tee with a larger throttle body than the OEM.


Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

Not sure if you're keeping a list, but I'm interested in your design. I also have a 2.7 liter

Thanks,
