I know you said you checked the intake already, but its worth checking again between the airbox and the screen just downstream of the MAF (assuming the S's intake also has a screen).
FWIW, the culprit on my car turned out to be a clear piece of plastic wrapper caught inside the intake on the screen inside the intake tube just downstream of the MAF. I'd checked the intake previously but I didn't find it at first since the plastic was clear and not very large (maybe 1" -1.5" square) and it might've been clung to the side of the intake.

Hi! thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely look into that. If I'm being perfectly honest, other than checking that tube for smoke during my smoke test, I didn't investigate the intake tube very closely. As soon as the temps get back above 30 (ugg!), I will take a look and report back. As usual, thanks all for your time!
