I´m "blueprinting" my upcoming breathing mods right now. Plan on 987 airbox, 987 MAF-housing with 986-sensor, 74mm throttle, 997 Plenum and maybe, if I feel lucky I go all the way and swap in the 996 intake. This + the whole exhaust part.

I have read so much on the subject the last week that I´m actually dreaming about it at night ;-)

I still have two issues I haven´t managed to figure out, so if someone would be able to chime in It would be great.
1) I take it the 74mm throttle seems ok, or even the 76, but what about the 82mm? Would it be beneficial or is it just too big for the 3.2? I understand a 82 throttle from a Cayenne V8 would work and be cheaper than a GT3.
2) I take it that the 987 MAF-housing is too big for the ECU to adapt and a flash is needed, I do plan on a custom mapping by a good tuner however how bad is it with the 987 MAF-housing? Will the Engine run? Will I be able to drive to the tuner with the original tune? Or will I need to take the car on a trailer?
