Question [911S with PowerKit] Help on how to disconnect PSE connector

Hi all,
I was interested to buy this:
http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p97084.htm

But, before buying it, I wanted to check how the PSE sound would work without the "porsche decision" to make the exhaust quiet -anyhow- between 45 and 75 km/h.

Before going yo my garage I was looking this website
http://www.club911.net/viewthread.php?tid=101123&page=3

But... When looking at my engine bay, I was not able to locate the PSE connector.
Below a few pics, I hope that you'll be able to help me to identify the connector.
Thanks in advance for your help.

i just did this mod to my X51 the other day. The PSE can be disconnected behind the left intake snorkel. The connector is all black and sits 3-4 inches behind the left intake snorkel. Once you find it, its easy to disconnect.

here is a pic i took right next to the left snorkel, the wire disconnected is the PSE.

yup thats it, you just press in the metal clip towards the connector and the connector should pull apart easy.

the connector in the pic's you took is the PSE one, from my research the connector is normally found on the right side of the engine compartment and is balck and orange, except for X51's that are normally on the left. All i can say is the connector is on the left hand side on my car which is X51 from factory and the connector is all black. unplugg it and listen to amazingness!

I'll try to do it next week-end (and thanks again for the explanation on how to unplug it. It would have been my next question).
I WAS puzzled because I misread a message from an italian guy that was talking about the connector but NOT in the X51.

Last but not least.
How did you protect the plug and the connector? I was thinking to tight to them a couple of latex glove fingers to protect them from dirt and humidity.
Something in between a condom and a BDSM practice
