Not to mention having only one Porsche official dealer in my country (who seem to be against installing that kind of intake) if I have to deal with codes and MAF issues.
About power gains, I haven't seen any independent dyno sheets (only lots of positive comments from the customers, that's why I bought one...)
ImagineAuto dynoed 14.9rwhp gain on a stock car.
EVO MS itself has some dyno sheets which show a 10rwhp gain with a stage2 car and with the GT750 kit the power gain was pretty huge, something like 75rwhp.

One thing to note regarding the V-Flow is that just like all of our other products, the V-Flow comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. If you get it and it doesn't make power, we will refund your money. Here is the aside, to this day we have yet to see a car not achieve a power gain within our quoted range. We have close to 1000 of these systems on the road (996 / 997 / 996TT combined), and we have yet to have to return one because it didn't make power on a dyno run that was setup correctly.

I noticed you have this: Gemballa sport air intake system and air inlet distributor ,
along with the vflow. How does that work?

I had the fvd intake plenum.... just like Craigs' ... and it was the best money spent on my car..... I suggest anyone with 600+hp to put it on....
that OEM part is like one trying to blowing thru a straw.... imagine how the the car feels.

Craig,
That power kit looks hot! Does it require an engine drop to install? Can you give me an idea of the price?
I also have the EVO intake and have had on issues.

Ritchieswimwear,
I'm very skeptical of any product that can improve on what Porsche built from the factory, however the V-Flow airbox seems to be one of those items, like GIAC tuning, that just bolts on and makes an improvement.
I've not tested the car back to back with and w/o the airbox, but on the race track @ Sebring last month the throttle response felt better and I didn't have any cel's.
So at least we know it's been dynoed by Todd, Stephen and I'm sure a few other guys, and it's been at WOT around Sebring for 2 practices, Qualifying, and a 30 minute sprint race w/o any issues.
Hope this helps,
Rick
