Hi Once,
What about trying your old Maf sensor from the 986 airbox. I thought I saw Brad say you should use it and that it fits. Just a thought. Brad has been quiet on here of late, I hope he's ok.

I did try that, it fits the same yes. Turns out the tube is too big for the DME to compensate for it, so I stuck some foam in there to reduce the size a little. Seems to be working so far, no CEL.

Hi Ona,
I'm glad it's at least working even though it's probably not exactly as planned.

Passed the smog test, removed the large foam and replaced it with a much smaller one. All good now.

I just got my 987 airbox in the mail the other day. I am waiting to take my hardtop off to tackle trying this box out. I think it will be a good addition to the 3.4 in there now. I will take photos and keep people up date if anyone would like.

Thanks for the thought of my hands. I am going to pull the intake manifold on that side and then there should be no worries of the hand mashing.
