Oh yes, very doable. It takes a lot of time to do the job and one bolt in the intake runner you have to remove is a complete PITA to get to. With all my mods on the stock tune I'm up 30 HP when I use an online calculator with my 0 to 60 MPH time, car weight and auto trans. Allowing the 3.2 to breath better wakes this engine up big time. I just don't know how a 2.7 will fair with these mods and I don't think a complete air intake upgrade would get you 20 HP extra. Maybe someone with a 2.7 that has done this mod will chime in.

Yes. At the time, the product was standard across the board for all 3.2 customers. There weren’t any updates that I was aware of. Custom tunes are a different story.

These are solely my impressions of throttle response, the old but dyno, pull, and engine acceleration vs the stopwatch from 3K to 5000. At 5000 plus the cockpit of my car is too manic to discern anything.

That post reminded me to call the Porsche dealer back. They sent to me the same number and got the same voicemail. I didn't even leave a message and called the main number back and told her that I have left 5 or more messages on that voicemail and never received a call back. She took my name and number to have someone call me. I also mentioned I have a blank key I need cut and she said I needed to talk to the parts department on that. So she transferred me to that department and the guy said they don't cut Porsche keys. I would have to order they key cut directly from Porsche. I asked how much that was and he said $150 lolololol. Don't lose your key fob or you're looking at over $300 for parts and labor to replace it.

He did mention a locksmith's name he said used to cut Porsche keys. I'll give that place a call if I can find the number.

EDIT: Ha ha, just called the locksmith and he said no problem to cut me a new key and $10 to do it. Hell, I'll toss the guy a $20 bill, tell him no receipt needed and lunch is on me.
