After a very extensive R & D program we are proud to launch the new 981 IPD 82mm Competition Plenums. We only offer "Competition" versions of the 981 Plenums which upgrades the factory 74mm throttle body with the larger 997 GT3 82mm throttle body. This combination has proven to be considerably more popular and deliver even more performance. This Competition version will work with both 3.4L "S" and 2.7L "Non-S" applications.
The 981 intake is nearly identical to the 987.2 intake. Porsche made a few upgrades with the 981, most notably being that the 981 draws outside air from both driver and passenger air intakes instead of the driver's side only as previously found with all 986, 987 and 987.2 applications. IPD has included a custom silicone hose designed to perfectly fit the larger 82mm TB and considerably improve air flow.
The new 981 Plenums also benefits from the internal dimpling effect that we are now implementing on all future Plenums. This internal dimpling allows us to control the boundary layer and maximize air flow. Just like a dimpled golf ball travels farther than a smooth golf ball. Controlled turbulent air creates less friction and "tumbles" over a given area more efficiently.
Power gains with the 981 Competition Plenum are virtually the same as with the 987.2 Competition Plenum, putting down 20 horsepower and 16 foot pounds of torque at the wheels. The bulk of the power gains from the IPD Plenum begin around 4000 rpm, continues all the way through to redline and become fully realized in the 6000 rpm range. IPD performance gains stay above both factory power curves throughout the entire rev range

The perfectly balanced mid engine Cayman/Boxster is Germany's canyon carving track meister. Unfortunately, the Cayman/Boxster was delivered slightly under powered from the factory so as not to threaten the Carrera's thrown. The Cayman IPD intake plenum delivers increased performance that puts the Cayman/Boxster in the ring with the Carrera.
The IPD Plenum out performs every other intake system on the market. Don't be fooled by other competitors claiming to offer Plenums. All factory Porsche air distributors are of the "T" variety and therefore suffer from less than ideal air flow and intake air speed.
The genius and power behind the IPD plenums comes from the patented "Y" style design and optimized diversion areas to deliver real and impressive power that will transform your Cayman's/Boxster's performance and heighten your Porsche driving experience.
The Cayman/Boxster IPD Intake Plenums are available in 3 versions, each one specifically designed to meet the performance requirements of varying Cayman/Boxster enthusiasts. IPD offers the ultimate Cayman/Boxster performance upgrades, all the way from mild to wild.
The IPD Cayman/Boxster "Competition" Plenum was designed to meet the needs of the most demanding Cayman/Boxster S enthusiasts. The "Competition" Plenums is even larger and utilizes the 997 GT3 82mm throttle body allowing it to deliver even greater air flow and substantial increases in performance.
The "Competition" version is designed to work with both bone stock Caymans/Boxsters but produces even more horsepower gains (20+) with Caymans/Boxsters already equipped with after market "cat back" high flow performance exhaust and other performance mods.

The 74mm Cayman/Boxster S Plenum utilizes the factory 74mm throttle body. This version provides impressive power gains throughout the entire power band, especially in the midrange where it's most critical and most enjoyed.
The 74mm Cayman/Boxster S Plenum application is recommended for Cayman/Boxster S enthusiasts looking for considerable performance gains without pushing the performance envelope. Max horsepower is 14 and max torque is 12 which all comes in around 5600 RPM. Power gains are realized throughout the entire power band without any loses in power.
The IPD Cayman/Boxster S Plenum will provides the most impressive power gains of any engine upgrade available and will truly transform your Cayman/Boxster driving experience. The 74mm IPD Plenum is the best Cayman/Boxster modification on the market and will further compliment other mods such as exhaust, software and beyond.

Diagram Ref No 1
What Does the Throttle Body Do?
The throttle body contains a circular butterfly valve that opens and closes to regulate airflow into the engine.
When the accelerator is pressed, the engine management system electronically controls the throttle body, opening the valve to increase airflow and closing it when less engine power is required.
A correctly functioning throttle body helps:
- Control engine intake airflow
- Maintain a smooth, stable idle
- Provide responsive acceleration
- Maintain consistent engine performance
- Support accurate engine management
Why Do Throttle Bodies Fail?
Throttle bodies are exposed to heat, vibration and contamination throughout their working life. Oil vapour and carbon deposits can accumulate around the throttle plate, while the electronic actuator and internal position sensors can deteriorate with age.
Common causes include:
- Carbon and oil deposits
- Electronic actuator wear
- Throttle position sensor faults
- Electrical motor failure
- Damaged wiring or connectors
- Heat and vibration
- General age-related deterioration
A contaminated throttle body may sometimes be cleaned successfully, providing its electronic components remain serviceable.
When Should the Throttle Body Be Replaced?
Replacement should be considered if:
- Idle becomes unstable or fluctuates
- Throttle response becomes slow or inconsistent
- The engine hesitates during acceleration
- The vehicle enters limp-home mode
- Throttle-related fault codes are stored
- Cleaning does not restore correct operation
- Diagnostic testing identifies an internal fault
- The throttle plate sticks or fails to operate correctly
Similar symptoms can be caused by intake leaks, wiring or other engine management components, so correct diagnosis is recommended before replacement.
Electronic throttle bodies play an important role in Porsche engine management and intake systems.
As Porsche models age, contamination, actuator wear and electronic faults can lead to poor throttle response, unstable idle, hesitation and engine management warnings.
When diagnosing a Porsche throttle body fault, the intake pipework, electrical connections and associated engine management components should also be checked before replacement.
