What the seller sezz is ....
"If you increase the pressure of petrol and optimize the lambda-value, you can get 35 hp more than before!"
That doesn't appear to be a claim for the airbox persay - but for an increase in fueling ( rail pressure and/or injector size) and a DME remap .... or chip job.
So, what does a rewrite of the DME give these days?
.... assuming the airbox to be zero.

You'd get better performance just leaving the cover off. I do not believe any air intake change to a stock 993 motor can yield more than five horsepower- if that. If somebody can prove me wrong- via independent testing- I'm listening.
If it were that easy Porsche would have done it.

"This extreme racing-airbox made of pure carbon-fibre is designed and manufactured in germany."
He does say it is "extreme"... that alone gets you 5hp!
"The airbox is purpose-built for porsche engines 993, which will be retrofitted in elderly cars."
I'm just glad to hear our cars aren't "elderly" like those older 911s
At least I THINK that is what he is trying to say
And who can't resist extra oxygen!
"...at the end of this filter there is a venturi-funnel, so the air will accelerate and condense. Your engine has 300 percent more oxygen than normally."
I would have given him bonus points if he had used all caps in the ad.
