Ok so i'm not mechanically inclined and just read up on this plenum thingy. Apparently it's an air intake distributor credited with adding 15HP at the wheels. I saw some prices around ~1K and some adds claim it was specifically designed for the 3.8L motor. Is this part included on my GTS or can i add it aftermarket for a little extra oomph?

You have the X51 Porsche Plenum on the GTS. You're all good.
The IPD is good for the S models. I'm happy with mine and BMC air filters. Better intake sound inside the car too. Who needs Bose or Burmester?
Do tell... are you doing the X51 install, or took pics of the part for some other reason?
yes, I'm keeping my nicely optioned cab long term and after driving a 2016 991 GTS4 in Aug AND Suncoast put the kit on sale AND my local dealer gave me a contract deal for install, it should be done today! They started Mon the 5th. Here are a few of my pics too. I'm sorry I didn't dyno it b4 & after, that would of been nice I agree.
I have to admit, seeing the engine "guts" is exciting for me! LOL
How many miles did you have on your cab at the time of install? I've heard that there are some variances in install procedures / requirements based on engine mileage -- curious if this was spelled-out by the work order at the dealer?

Normally I would say you are sick But knowing you are a take it apart DIY guy I can see how you would react with excitement. For me, seeing raw pistons, timing chains, valve trains, etc. gives me pucker factor.
