I did it! I desnorkled my 987s! The results are controversial and quiteweird but I am happy with the general outcome.
The 987s has a snorkle tube and a plastic plate in the intake vent. I removed both and now I can actually see my EVOMS intake from my side air vent. The sound is increased and you can hear the engine revving hard from low rpm.


THe weird thing is that now the engine works better after 5000rpm up to rev-limiter. I believe that I have lost a little in low rpm but after 5krpm the car roars with much more power then before. I will try to measure it in a 400m run with and without the de-snorkel tube. I assume the difference is associated not with with desnorkle tube but with the plastic plate which actually stops the air from getting in the left side airvent of the 987.


I am not sure if it burns more fuel because I constantly drive it hard to hear the noise so...
