Friday ramblings ...
if you look at a 996 intake manifold you'll notice that, unlike the 986, each side is TWO parts (#1 and #24):
3.4l / 3.6l Intake Distributor
note part #24:
PORSCHE 911 CARRERA TYPE 996 1998 - 2004 ANSAUGSTUTZEN 99611010152 | eBay
a nice straight piece that houses the injectors at one end.
while not round, I wonder if it would be possible to mount individual throttle plates in these things - shine up the inside, drill it through longitudinally, mount three little plates, add all the mechanical bits and bobs, tps, etc.; similar to this:

(thanks jake)
plop the rest of the manifold on and reinstall oem vacuum lines, maf, etc.; all the intake bits less the tb. would have to figure out the cable/e-throttle conversion, but otherwise the ecu should cooperate as you are still metering the air. probably need a wideband O2 and piggyback to finetune fueling when open loop, however.
benefits? better throttle response. more hp? dunno. cool factor - totally.
