If you search the other threads, I think you'll find the 987 airbox is critical to helping breathing.

One more thought while the topic is up: The hose that goes from the AOS to the throttle body did not fit well with the 997 Plenum on my car. I took it off and used a heat-gun to soften it and flex it to a better fit. Is there a better hose to use or did anyone fabricate a good one?

I did the same as you although if the hose is old, it might crack. I'm sure someone has made their own tube?

I made my own from a clear wire- reinforced hose, with about a foot extra, looped down below the tb, so if it gets accumulation I can see it. Works REALLY, really well.
The non reinforced hose didn't work.... when it was warm it would collapse under vacuum.

Yeah, didn't you make a post about that? Maybe a thread about catch-cans or something? Or was that someone else?
