The problem with airboxes... is that, basically, the bigger the better! But also the more pain it is to fit...

I'm going to test a K&N panel filter tomorrow, and see if that makes a difference in the stock 986 airbox.

I believe the 987 airbox is a good mod to go along with the plenum, but not 100% necessary, I don't have one (but I have the headers and mid pipes).

I might give the 987 airbox a try if I'm not satisfied with the K&N. And maybe design something to make the modification of the box and the fitting easier!

I will contact a Porsche tuner soon that distribute GIAC tunes and have a dyno, see if we can work something out ! It won't be cheap though... We'll see, I'll keep you in touch!

Ben.
