Now I am confused. So there is a snorkel somewhere also? Do you know where it is?

You can see it in that list you posted. The guy did not remove it for some reason. He only removed the restrictor plate and retaining ring. Not sure why he stopped there. Look at the part sitting next to the dyno in the picture below in the original post. That's the SNORKLE part. It's just shown sitting straight up instead of the way you would normally see it inside the vent area. Hope this helps.

Thanks. My final noob question on this matter (hopefully) is can it be removed from the vent or only from the engine?

From what I've heard it can be done from the outside on both 987 & 986 models. Still wish someone would direct me to the how-to post on removing the SNORKLE part. I know someone recenlty just yanked on it and it came right out after some effort. But I want to make sure I don't break anything, so I'm not recomending that way.

How come the 986 doesn't have this restrictor plate in front of it to begin with and the 987 does?
