Yes that would be very nice and helpful of you.

For future reference for anyone else that encounters similar issues, the change-over valve did fix my problem, and it only cost me $27 from Porsche. They were estimating 8 hours to install it (4 hours to remove intake/injectors to get to it, 3 hours to reinstall, 1 hour to swap valve).

I was able to do it in around an hour by purchasing a set of long needle nose pliers, and squeezing my hands in around the intake. If it wasn't for this one hose that is fairly short I could have done it in about 30 minutes.

Thanks be to the dealer for wanting $1000 for labour.
