I did this job today. Watched all the videos, but here are my notes that I jotted down during and after the process:
Get correct gasket grease for next time (Porsche Kluber Syntheso Glep Grease - P/N 000-043-305-01); I used wheel bearing grease first time. Clean reusable parts off well, and apply new grease. Use Shark Werks tool to remove air filters; made it pretty easy. Make sure all cones are found and reinstalled upon each trim piece removal; super easy to lose them! Use power drill to remove and re-install filter on plastic housing; have to apply fairly-hard downward pressure when connecting pieces because the holes in the new filter are not tapped – screw will self-tap as installed (needs pressure to get started). Peel back the carpet under the ECU to get to the last hidden bolt, which is just to the bottom-right of the ECU by maybe and inch or less. The lip of the forward side pieces need to slide under trim in front of them where the two sliding storage compartments are. To re-install the centerpiece, put it in the lower compartment and slide it up into position.

also disconnecting the oil filler hose on the right is a challenge, well it was when I did it...
