Do you guys think one could wire up a adjustable resistor on the MAF signal wire (instructions can be found online) and tune the voltage with the aid of a "Air fuel ratio gauge", to make the OM tune work with with the bigger (996/Cayman) MAF housing? Just a thought

Why not? People have been tuning jap cars since the mid 90's with a S-AFC which essentially modifies the MAF signal to the control unit. If you install a wideband A/F gauge to go along with it, you have a pretty good start on fine tuning.

I've read posts on doing this, and I am considering it. Just bought a throttle body and plenum from Meir and plan on re-locating my maf housing with the original setup adapted to my 987 air box when it shows up. Hopefully this will cure some if not all of the nagging issues I've had. Plus add some hp with the larger tb & plenum.

Sorry for the post hi-jack OP.
