What did you do to your 996TT today?

He is not kidding. There were news reports this week about it. They are speculating that nicotine somehow interferes with the virus multiplying.

Are those MotoJB's design?

I finally got to drive mine further than around the block. All the work I've done the last few weeks was totally worth it. The car is quieter, it shifts smoother, it smells better, and I can actually hear the stereo now.
Also, I bypassed the N249 valve so that the diverter valves are operated with a direct vacuum line to the intake manifold. It seems to help with low speed driveability and smoothness (which is the reason this a common mod on Audi's with the 2.7T engine).

Not driveability issues, but it makes it a little smoother at lower speeds. It also allows the diverter valves to open faster because they are directly controlled by intake manifold vacuum.
It was mostly done as an experiment since this is a very common modification on 2.7T Audis. However, since I'm on a mafless tune I've already eliminated one of the safeguards for the engine, so I'll probably put it back to the original configuration since the computer will sometimes open the diverter valves to bleed off extra boost pressure if needed. Either that, or maybe a hybrid setup where one is actuated directly from the manifold and he other one is connected to the N249 still which would get me the best of both worlds.

other than possibly my ignition switch.

I don't have any issues either, but I did it to see if I had any I didn't realize I had. The car drives the same. I think part of the reason this is popular with the 2.7T is because the K03 turbos on them spool really quickly so even at low speeds you can get a little bit of jerkiness during part throttle driving (it made a noticeable difference on my old S4). My K24s don't spool nearly as quickly as those little guys, so it's a non-issue on these cars.
