it's absolutely possible to plumb it over to the vent. i plan on doing this w/ some SCAT hose; just haven't gotten around to it.
the airbox outlet & the throttle body inlet are the same size, but for some reason, porsche chose a MAF housing with a larger size. the throttle & airbox outlet are matched, though, so there's not really any benefit to up-sizing the BMC box. i think it's the biggest one they make, anyway. i think it's 85mm.
with the 2.5 / 2.7L boxsters, you would NOT step up. instead, you would have a smaller MAF (from a 535i instead of a 540i) housing.
i'll try to post a sound clip this weekend. hard to separate the sound of the inlet from the exhaust, though......my car is LOUD.
