You all know this has been covered before right? 987 v 986 Air box I have done this mod as well as a few others. The IPD helps most when our variocam kicks in. If you are planning on doing all these mods you have to get your car to a tuner or have the ability to tune it yourself in someway. When you are done and all tuned up, you will not believe the transformation in your car. I don't recommend a K&N filter. Stay stock. I was advised to do this myself by one of the the best builders/racers around for good reasons. Stock is best.

You don't have to get a tune done when using the stock MAF housing. K&N filters have better air flow then a stock air filter, you just need to rid the filter of excess oil before installing it.
I do plan a tune, but that will be done after my exhaust upgrades and I'll be changing over to the 987 MAF housing and larger pipping then.

KRAM, yes the K&N will flow better for a little while. If you change the location of the MAF you will most likely need a tune.

K&N will flow better then 5 new stock air filters before it needs a cleaning. It's the diameter of the MAF housing that matters, not location, although some say closer to the TB the better. The car runs soooo good right now I wouldn't think of doing a tune.

Enjoy your car. I was just offering my experience. I must have been misinformed.

Yeah, you are absolutely missinformed.  
K&N has designed these oil-saturated air filters definitely for injector engines. LOL!
@KRAM:
Sometimes it's better not to think too much.
Life is complicated enough.
