Hey I know that they are kinda new in the Porsche world, but they are making a lot of waves and I'm sure the quality is just as good as K&N. There is a company called Evolution Motorsports and I'll almost bet my left nut that those guys could help you out on that whole intake problem that you have. Besides, my buddy owns EBS and he said that the best filters for the 986's are dry element because the MAF sensor is a little touchy.
