EDIT: Maybe $300 for the air intake upgrade. I forgot to add in some extra pieces you'll need and the silicone couplers.
Next on my list is headers, secondary cat delete pipes and Borla muffler.

Kram - have you detailed this mod on the forum anywhere? IE, picts, part numbers, install process, etc? Would love to see this - very interested in this mod myself...

It's a nice Mod but you almost need the engine out to pull it off. I've seen some other cut off the outlet pipe and remount the original MAF in my opinion this defeats the purpose.

Bang for Buck mod
Kram, I would be interested too, what is the toughest part of this conversion? Did you need to pull the engine? This sounds better than the IPD conversion. 20 or so more ponies at a fraction of what they want sounds like a no brainer. I am new to the Porsche scene but do turn a wrench. I love these cars!
By the way, is this a pure safe swap without the need of a tune after? Thanks,

These are the threads I got my info from. You don't need the motor out to do it. I can give you the part numbers, I'll need to look them up.

I second Kram here, finished my TB/plenum swap couple weeks ago. The 2.7 gets places on the freeway now, very happy.
I will add that secondary cat deletes and exhaust (I did Beluga Racing - <$300 for the backbox, but still blows fiberglass), will give you a response/hp boost, and AWESOME sound. And that sound is awesome all the time. My brother used to DD this car completely stock, and when he drove it after the exhaust he felt it was just what it needed. Still quiet cruising, no need to yell on the freeway even with the top down.
