Evolution MotorSports replied to my inquiry and the intake uses an EVO 100 air filter and the cost is $49.

I must be having a stroke - I have no idea what you guys are saying. It's like reading a bad translation.

Need Help Identifying Air Filter

I finally got around to wanting to replace the air filter in my 99 Boxster only to discover it has been swapped out with an after-market setup. Maybe a K&N or cheap knock-off? There are NO...

Graphics & Pastidip

Got tired of looking like every other Arctic Silver 986 so I gave a vinyl Boxster decal and Plastidip a try. My advice is, do NOT use the Glossifier. My finish was perfect flat black with crisp...

Just closing this off as I finally did figure out what was causing it - an upplugged cable under the driver’s seat! Plugged it back in and all was good.

That’s just an ordinary time for a new battery issue. If you put in a new battery and it does that, time for a new starter.

And I remember when upgrading from 14's on a 911 to 15's was da-bomb. Sure was a comphy ride on 14's. I'm pretty sure my wife's '90 Corolla had 13's. Cost $39 bucks a tire. Ahhh. The good old days.
