Default Tamper proof torx wrench size for MAF screws
Anyone have the size. Looks like they take a tamper proof wrench.
Thanks in advance.

T25 5 point. Not your typical 6 point torx.

Hmm, I used this T20 on mine:

Amazon Amazon

Based on my success w/ the above and all of the DIY's I read, my understanding is that it's a 6-point tamper proof T20 (ie., https://rennlist.com/forums/996-1998...k1-996-c4.html).

well, that set has security bits from t8 to t40 so you're more than covered for ~$20.

My mistake. The boxster uses a t25 5 star tamper but, the TT ones use a t20 6 star tamper proof torx.

997.1 TT (possibly other 997s as well) also uses the 5 star. I just had one in my hands a few days ago.

Autozone sells the specific pentalobe bit, about $7. They (997tt) are all 5 point pentalobe.
