AdamNillinois,

It is very true that a lot of people have problems installing the aftermarket intakes, and some have a problem with the MAF sensor fouling up... There are two separate versions available for the boxster and boxster s models from evo motorsports... I have owned both... "The Quickflow" is the basic model, I started with this type... It is a direct replacement to your stock intake tube... It does come with a sport air filter... When I used this type I also had some problems with my MAF... When the dealer looked at it he said that he thought oil had dripped off the newly installed air filter onto the MAF sensor... He replaced the MAF and I began using stock filters again, no problems since! I highly recommend this version!!! It is cheaper, easy to install, light on the problems... The next version is the "Highflow intake" this actually replaces the entire air box and intake tube to the throttle body... It also switches to the cone air filter... This intake is a lot harder to install, a little more expensive, but more bang for the buck... I also recommend this one for the advanced Porsche tuner. Both intakes are available from various stores or you can get more info at: http://www.evoms.com/porsche%20ec%20art%20test.htm

Good Luck
