Sounds more like a vacuum leak to me.

Jesus. I would get irritated about stuff like changing a clutch on an s2k, a turbo on an evo x, or downpipes on a gtr, but that is a whole new level of bullshit. Although there are a surprising number of cars with the hubs outside of the rotor. Some hondas and mazdas off the top of my head.

Sadly no. We not only did a vacuum leak test with starter fluid but a month ago I also replaced every vacuum hose on the drat thing. My money is still on the MAF which I will be purchasing new shortly

What happens if you unplug the maf? The subarus I'm used to dealing with will idle well without one. On second thought that probably won't solve anything.

Care to explain this more? I mean it seems Porsche has a thing or to learn from your knowledge.

Holes creates weak spots where cracks begin due to thermal expansion. They used to do it because at high temps pads gave off so much gas that you would get fade and they wouldn't work otherwise. It still happens to a small extent but the better solution is to use some sort of a slot. I think you would be hard pressed to find an F1, WRC, or ALMS brake rotor with holes in it.
