Finished my 986 to 987 airbox upgrade...pics & instructions
Finished my 986 to 987 airbox and 3.4 throttle body & plenum upgrade. Here's a ton of pics and a write up including part numbers. My car is a 2003 Base Tiptronic but this should work for all 986 models. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!

NO NEED TO BEND CLIPS OR TAKE APART TOP OF ENGINE - Easy to do if you have access to a lift & engine jack...

Hi, looks like the front engine mount bolts are still on and thus the mount is used as the pivot point. Where do you place the jack to lower the assembly? The differential in the transmission?

jack
Used an engine jack with a wood board to give as much support as possibly to the whole assembly. Only really needed to lower it a couple of inches.


PS: If I didn't post it before - be sure to check the wheel alignment when done with this project.

Great post, I didn't see how you will reprogram your bigger MAF sensor housing?
