Hello guys,
I'm planning to fit 987 airbox, butterfly and plenum all in one.
Have all the parts, silicone reducers for plenum but missing how to connect from 987 butterfly to 987 airbox bit, is there a Porsche part for that?
Plus it does seem that the engine bay is very very tight, can you confirm the 986 airbox can be removed without engine removal?
what would be the removal order? 1-plenum 2-manifold 3-airbox?
where are the manifold screws located?
Sorry many questions..
photos are going to follow and I plan do make a brief video when will be replacing parts so others can benefit.
attached my cut on the airbox.
Cheers,
Ser

Air box

Don't forget to cover the hole in the back. I used fiber glass. I had the motor out when I put my box in and it was still difficult then. I think it would be really hard installing with the motor in the car.
I also had to cut off the flange closest to the throttle so I could get my 3.5" silicon tubing to fit on the air box.

I installed a 996 3.4 motor in my 986 using the 987 air box but it was a really tight fit.
If I would have needed another 1/4" it would not have fit. If you want some pictures I can send them.
Good Luck
