Description
The IPD 74mm Intake Plenum for the Porsche 987.2 Boxster Base 2.9L is a direct bolt-on performance upgrade engineered for Porsche’s Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) platform from 2009–2012. This specifically designed plenum replaces the factory intake plenum while retaining the original OEM 74mm throttle body and all existing factory hardware.
The IPD intake design improves airflow characteristics by delivering smoother, less turbulent, and more efficient air movement through the intake system. By increasing airflow velocity and optimizing internal plenum geometry, the system enhances engine breathing and improves overall performance.
The result is a noticeable improvement in horsepower and torque, along with a more responsive driving experience throughout the rev range.

DFI Intake System Optimization:
The Porsche 987.2 DFI engine is a highly engineered system designed for balanced performance, efficiency, and emissions compliance.
The IPD 74mm Plenum enhances this factory design by improving internal airflow pathways, reducing restriction, and increasing airflow speed into the engine.
This results in improved combustion efficiency and stronger performance delivery under load.
Performance Gains:
The IPD 74mm Intake Plenum delivers measurable performance improvements over the factory intake system.
Unlike earlier naturally aspirated IPD designs that focused heavily on mid-range gains, this DFI-specific plenum produces a similar factory-like power curve but with significantly stronger performance from the mid-range through to redline.
Drivers experience improved acceleration, enhanced high-RPM pull, and more consistent power delivery across the entire rev range.
Installation:
The IPD 74mm Intake Plenum is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade using all existing factory hardware and components.
Installation is straightforward for mechanically experienced users; however, IPD strongly recommends installation by a qualified Porsche technician to ensure proper fitment and optimal performance.
Warranty & Usage Note:
All IPD products are designed for vehicles operated on public roadways.
Each IPD plenum includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Warranty coverage is void if the product is used off-road or on race tracks.
