I almost made the same mistake, but caught myself. Since then i have done it the correct way and have had no issues.
Yep I'm well aware of this. I've always done such things by hand. The big issue with my car is that it was idiot owned at some point. Same issue with the threads where the distributer bolts in. One of those threads is completely gone. Luckily for me the fuel rail threads are still in good shape. A couple parts for the throttle linkage are toast on mine.

I also don't like the design. If you ever get a chance to shine a light inside one you should. The inside of them are ridiculous. I like the direction porsche was moving in with that design but in the big picture I'm not a fan. The S2 manifold reflects the amount of restriction you get with our intakes. Once I cut the flange on the one I have I'm going to try and make a cutaway just for fun.
