Got the 987 box in. A little under 2 hours to get the 986 airbox out, probably 3 to get the 987 in-- fitting, then cutting, then re-fitting, then wishing that Porsche made bigger engine access panels, etc.

Cliff's notes:
trim as much as you can off the 987 box because it's a super tight fit.

I had to loosen the left manifold.

Lowering the engine saved a lot of aggravation.

figuring out how to mate the 986 MAF to the 987 box. Thinking that I am going to use a silicone pipe reducer where the 987 MAF clips to the box. Apart from the vacuum line i broke, that should be the last part i need to get this done.
