i think the wideband 02 and afc initiative is fantastic and am really excited for the results, but in the interim perhaps look at revising your intake to see if any power gains result (with your wideband 02 you would be able to definitively determine what, if any, changes to maf readings this would effect). if the 996 maf housing is indeed +/- 3.25" ID then it is a direct match to a bmc 85; you could couple the maf housing direct to the end of the filter then elbow towards the throttle body. room is tight in there, however, and such a config may not fit (didn't for me) but i've since found that some room can be gained by pulling the insulation off the inside of the engine bay.

i'm in that process right now; my intake design is similar to yours (copied in fact) and i am looking to use the 987 airbox instead (3.25" ID) as it gets my maf housing closer to the filter as per oem. i also worry about vibration affecting readings from a maf that is hung out there instead of tied to the air box.
