Tommy,

you want to use the CaymanS MAF housing. It holds the same MAF your 2000 car runs.

I happened to have one close to my desk. I'll show you the CaymanS MAF holder and boot, then show you the 986 (side by side)

As far as pricing goes, I expect to pay about half of new when buying these parts from places like LAPD/OK Foreign/PartsHeaven

Part number: 987.110.021.00 NEW Price from Porsche is $560.00

You will find it in cars from 2005-2008 ALL 2.7/3.2/3.4 cars.. all of them..

Stock 2.5/2.7/3.2 utilize a 74mm diameter inlet at the MAF sensor.



CaymanS utilizes a 82mm opening!!!!




Just noticed the spider in the BoxsterS MAF tube.. LOL

If you use a larger MAF housing diameter without reprogramming or otherwise changing the signal, the DME won't be calculating air volume correctly. The car will run leaner than the DME thinks it is.
