I have an MO30 c2 and am currently fitting the centre rad and am interested in fitting any parts that improve engine longevity.
J Holmes said:A new carbon airbox is £2780 plus vat from Porsche as a standalone item (part number 997.110.925.00). But the full gen 1 X51 powerkit is still available - if you already have the sports exhaust then the rest of the kit costs £5228 plus vat (not including fitting). For that you get the heads, manifolds, airbox, inlet manifold, third radiator kit etc etc. But the part number for the carbon airbox in the full kit is slightly different - 997.110.025.00, and against it the price is 'only' £1281 plus vat.
So if you ever find yourself in the position of needing a new carbon airbox it might worth asking your main dealer to try and order the part number of the box from the kit, if successful that's a saving of over 50% on the RRP of the standalone one.
One other thing, according to the brochure Porsche would only retrofit the powerkit to 3.8L cars built after 08/2005. So anything from before that date would not be a pukka X51 car
(text is from the 2007 Tequipment brochure (so 2007 prices) and the screen shot is from the Porsche system (current prices, excluding fitting).

GT4 said:Just because I happen to be at OPC Hatfield (hey, it was afternoon tea time), I asked them to run a quote (for a 996 3.4):
Parts only = £15,834.30
Labour = 36 hours @ (nominal) £125+VAT
If you are serious, they will discount labour by 50% and parts by 10%
