987 air intake: latest developments

[NewArt]

I must say that although I am pleased with the outcome (yet to be confirmed), getting the tune from the Porsche dealer was executed at dealer rates. Since this is not a procedure that they often (ever) do, it took quite a bit of time for my tech to research the possibilities and get my okay and then push the tune. I spent 3 hours there but they only charged me for 2. And hey, I got free espresso and a complimentary car wash!

ow; that's a lot of pesos. here's my intake ...



oem coupler at the maf holder introduces the bend early on so no contact with the transmission, and provides some isolation to keep engine vibration from affecting maf readings, then just a short coupler and a long-leg silcone elbow.

Did you cut down the 90 degree at the throttle body? When I try to use a 3.25" 90 at my throttle body I run out of space and it hits the rear firewall.

Which tunes are currently available and which one did you end up getting? What were the names given in the PWIS?

I believe the possible candidates for a 2000 to 2002 Boxster S 3.2 DME are: 1999 to 2002 996 3.4 and 996 3.4 ROW.

2003 to 2004 Boxster S 3.2 DME: 2003 to 2004 996 3.4 and 996 ROW; 550 Anniversary SE Spyder.

The separation at 2002 is due to the introduction of vario cam plus IIRC
