Also, how much was the ECU flash? And was it difficult to find a dealer to do it?
Well, I have searched and not found any kind of in-depth informative thread about air intake mods which is mostly what I was asking about. I also left the door open for any engine out mod that might be beneficial. Apparently there's not much to be gained, but you're the first person so far to even tell me that! I would even go so far as to ask for any mod that's worthwhile while the engine is out, not just for more power but for longevity, reliability, better cooling, etc. Because I'm just guessing here but I'd say there's about a 90% chance once I get this engine back together and spinning, I'll come across a bunch of things I should have done while the engine is out. Plenty of people have had their engines out, it's probably the most often removed engine in the entire Porsche kingdom, so I figured there would be plenty of info and responses about this subject.
Anyway, I do appreciate the comments; well, most of them. And even starter can post what he wants but I'll respond as it's about time someone did! That guy has been living a charmed life on here, ha ha. But I have to say, he has me going back and forth between anger and humor and for that, I compliment him! Well done, sir!
And, thanks, Ike for bringing it all together and thanks to Newart for working on 986's in Canada's winter while making videos of it all!

Lol. Those that know me know I can be sharp before 5A,. However, most is in jest... sarcasm, and only because we have a great bunch of people here. I'll offer up assistance when it's about something for which I'm familiar... and only because I learned about my car from this forum (and other light reading).
Did your chef find a mechanic for you?

Ha, no worries, i come off a lot gruffer than i am so no harm done.
And i really need a new chef; not only is he worthless at a good hollendaise sauce, he drives a Prius!
Now auditioning a combo gourmet chef/Porsche mechanic.
Oh, and all of my cars put together are probably less valuable than most people’s single car but i love them all and with five semi reliable cars, I’m never left walking!
(Ok, that’s not true; i actually am at this very moment….)
And a grateful thanks to all the good people who brought my thread back around to helpful and comedic!
😁

Nuvolari, I am not a gourmet chef but I know how to cook and currently unemployed (and looking for a job..) Also I like to work on cars, have experience with air cooled VW's, Fiat's (X1/9's), Alfa Romeo's, 987CS, 981CS, and a brief encounter with a 986
My previous experience is from the aerospace industry, but now I am open to more options (as suggested by my wife) ..LOL

Sorry, that was satirical.
And I'm no longer in LA.
And I like to cook. And work on cars.
And, most of all, I'm poor!
