Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.
Discussions that report identifying a cause

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'case' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'case' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My friend has recently acquired an '01 996 and would like to drill his airbox to mimic the motorsound option. Does anyone have a template they could share?
Thanks in advance.
In general, cold = better. But, if you really engineer up a solution with all the right physics, there are benefits of a hot mixture (not by just letting hot air in though!!). Remember Smokey Yunick's Hot Vapor Fiero. He believed quality of air/fuel mixture (more homogenized) could have benifits over just shear quanity (cold = higher density of air/fuel) for both MPG and performance.
Lot's more links on the physics of it, but this one has some nice pictures.

Been a while since I took that out... I will try and get a look next week... this week I already have a "fun project"
working on making the sunroof open and close smother and faster
does anyone else know about your part hoarding sickness
might be fun for a comparison - I guess I didnt look that carefully in the box, seem to remember what looked like drain holes was all...sure post it up - and thanks!
I don't plan on touching my airbox but I thought people's thoughts are interesting because the box comes that way from factory.
I guess Porsche engineers don't know anything about cars either.
Isn't this circular reasoning?
Cold air is good. Nice sound is good. Porsche made a reasoned compromise on the MkII cars.
That's still no excuse to hang an oily K&N cone filter in the middle of the engine compartment like it's some sort of Honda.
Many Civic owners would debate you on this... but because they are too ill from motion-sickness from bouncing all over the road, (road looks flat to me?) as a result of cutting down their springs and putting rock hard koni's and 20 inch rims on and because someone told them all of these add on's would make them go faster, they are unable to respond until their brains stop vibrating and then I'm sure they will let you know you are wrong.
