You know the surge a stock 986S gets around 5K? I'm getting that at about 4K now...
I really need to dyno this thing

Ahhhh somebody has already been there! Will Pedro modify a 3.4 intake tee with a special diverter piece? Or is this available for the 3.4 just as it is for the Boxsters?

You will definitely have to get some dyno work done!!

Eddy, I'm over 60 and it's been a year since this mod so I can't remember if I pushed one end into the other then grafted it with a plastic welder or if I just joined them end to end. The taper you see is from the welder. It works very well and quite stout too. HF has a cheap one. If you follow fellow Krams thread elsewhere on this forum he gives details. I pretty much applied his procedure. The toughest part of the mod is replacing the 986 airbox with a 987 box.

The more I thought about it yes I believe it slipped over then welded. But don't forget the air straightner/combmesh that has to get installed with hot glue gun also.
