Stock air filter part number?

I don't have my manual handy and was hoping someone had the OEM part number handy for the air filter on a 08tt. I'm replacing the BMC as it has fouled my MAFs once already and I frankly don't need the 5hp or whatever it provides.

Suncoast shows this one, but it is irregularly shaped and I could swear ours is a simple rectangle...

Was your BMC out of the box or had it been cleaned and re-oiled?

Not sure, was installed by the previous owner.

Thanks, that what suncoast lists as the part number as well. My confusion is that the filter with that part number is an irregular shape; however, the one in my car is a rectangle like the attached pictures. Can anyone help me understand why there is a difference?

Suncoast just used a generic picture - the same picture shows up for the GT2 and GT3 - the part numbers are correct. I believe when you order they ask for your VIN too so don't worry, you'll get the correct part. I've ordered and received from Suncoast the correct OEM filter for my 997.1 TT

So, is ours supposed to be the rectangle like the one that is on my car? I just want to make sure I still have a stock intake since the previous owner made a number of mods...

What makes you think it's not a stock airbox. Was the BMC filter rectangular like the one in the Porsche diagram? If so then stock. Here's front and back pics.

Thanks so much for the pics, mine is shaped just like yours. The picture from Suncoast was what was throwing me off. The previous owner modded the car quite a bit so I was confused between their picture and what I was seeing in the engine bay.
