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.

I've been trolling around for Mk1 996's lately, looking to get back into a porsche after an unfortunate, expensive detour into BMW M cars. I found a car on FleaBay that's absolutely gorgeous, but this doesn't look quite right. Not a stock part, and the place where the stock tube (from/to the MAF I assume?) is plugged off. Anyone know what's going on here? Many thanks, -chris
thats a fabspeed mod... the red intake and a cap for a throatier, louder intake sound. You can buy the stock rubber piece seperately.
That just looks like the cheapie cool air tube they sell that does nothing more than give you more engine sound feedback. You can see the MAF still connected...or is this a tip and the tube that normally does to the nipple on the connecting piece has been plugged?
It's a 6-speed, and it does look like the MAF is still connected. Talk about quick answers. I really need to renew my Rennlist membership! Thanks! -chris

Welcome back, good luck with the sale, sounds terrific!
Your renewal will be the best "mod" you can buy....
The MAF is where the plug downstream of the red piping is on the backside. It is not its own component anymore but a cartridge that goes inside the factory airbox piping with I believe two bolts.
