I guess I have the newer version with the oil-less filter. Installed for about a month and no problems. Car runs great and no CEL lights.

The car will see much track driving and various high speed trips through the Europe (mainly to the Nürburgring.) Would hate to have some engine lights on, because at least in Germany according to statistics the 996 is really one of the most reliable cars. Not to mention having only one Porsche official dealer in my country (who seem to be against installing that kind of intake) if I have to deal with codes and MAF issues.
About power gains, I haven't seen any independent dyno sheets (only lots of positive comments from the customers, that's why I bought one...)
ImagineAuto dynoed 14.9rwhp gain on a stock car.
EVO MS itself has some dyno sheets which show a 10rwhp gain with a stage2 car and with the GT750 kit the power gain was pretty huge, something like 75rwhp.

One thing to note regarding the V-Flow is that just like all of our other products, the V-Flow comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. If you get it and it doesn't make power, we will refund your money. Here is the aside, to this day we have yet to see a car not achieve a power gain within our quoted range. We have close to 1000 of these systems on the road (996 / 997 / 996TT combined), and we have yet to have to return one because it didn't make power on a dyno run that was setup correctly.

along with the vflow. How does that work?

I had the fvd intake plenum.... just like Craigs' ... and it was the best money spent on my car..... I suggest anyone with 600+hp to put it on....
that OEM part is like one trying to blowing thru a straw.... imagine how the the car feels.

Craig,
That power kit looks hot! Does it require an engine drop to install? Can you give me an idea of the price?
I also have the EVO intake and have had on issues.

Ritchieswimwear,
I'm very skeptical of any product that can improve on what Porsche built from the factory, however the V-Flow airbox seems to be one of those items, like GIAC tuning, that just bolts on and makes an improvement.
I've not tested the car back to back with and w/o the airbox, but on the race track @ Sebring last month the throttle response felt better and I didn't have any cel's.
So at least we know it's been dynoed by Todd, Stephen and I'm sure a few other guys, and it's been at WOT around Sebring for 2 practices, Qualifying, and a 30 minute sprint race w/o any issues.
Hope this helps,
Rick
