If you get this done, post and let us know details. While you are at it, you might see if there's a ROW version. With earlier ROW versions, you can get rid of the header cats and secondary air injection..

Called 2 Performance places here and neither could do it. Called the dealership and and had to leave a message as the service manager was not available.

Read your stuff about using a bigger throttle body and keeping the smaller MAF . Did you ever find a way to use an anniversary tune and use a bigger maf housing now?
I have collected a 987 airbox and bigger TB and 996 distribution plenum and am about to go down this path with my 2001S. I have the choice of either maf housing still to be decided.

I too completed this mod and went with the smaller Maf. Somewhere back in the original thread it was advised not to go with the bigger maf. If I recall the DME can only adjust to up to 20% more with the larger TB and 986 Maf and any more air with larger 987 Maf would put it over the edge. I'm still happy with it though as it is a noticeable change in performance.
