BTW I just exchanged emails with service manager in dealership I use, asked his opinion about this plenum install warranty-wise and actually did not get anything negative from him so far, he says he will check with his crew, he sort of did let me know even if anything may happen because of ay aftermarket part - they do not make a federal case out of it.
ECU mods as he added later are strictly forbidden and there is no way for them to perform warranty as all specs are shot. I wonder now - does flashing back softronic original file leave any traces in ECU or does not?

I just can't believe we're here again. I'm exhausted, no pun intended, since this is intake we're talking about.
The horse is dead, can we stop kicking it? I think we've learned a few things:
1. Having seen data showing gains, and data showing no gains, I think we can agree that there is no definitive proof one way or another as to the efficacy of the plenum mod.
2. There is no risk to adding it, given the supplier offers a 100% refund if not fully satisfied.

As of results - well, it is odd to see all those discrepancies. Something does not add up somewhere. Or there is an another parameter somewhere that folks cannot figure out.

I too am very confused by the results...the dyno that RSS used was done at a Mustang shop not a shop that deals in Porsche aftermarket...cant get more independent than that. Also I saw the AWE dynos and I respect AWE immensely when it comes to their dyno work...so with the 100% money back guarantee it may be worth a shot.

Seems like a thorough scientific approach...
