I had it. I sold it. I had to buy a new maf sensor within maybe 5000 miles. I don't know if they fixed the excess oil problem? I will tell you that the factory air box seals out engine heat way better than a piece of plastic and weather stripping that comes with the evo kit. I was happier when I just dropped in a BMC filter. I know there is no cool growl from the intake but it feels like there is more torque than the cone filter setup. Just de-snorkle the thing and enjoy. Also nothing fits like stock. If I were you I would save three to four hundred bucks and buy a drop in (BMC seems to be built sturdier than the K&N) and use the factory sealed, forced cold air intake that porsche designed.

Just my 2 cents, I am sure someone will disagree.
