Got a few tanks of e85 through it now, it still rips good!

Put on about 100 miles this weekend, no problems! Thank god! My fingers are still crossed but everything seems fine. Now to clean up the oil all over my engine bay and undercarriage.

Glad all is well, very scary seeing a low oil light alarm! Good fast reactions. That is why I have a prosport that has a visible and an obnoxious audible alarm.

This is MAP's Rev3 port job. They cut open the plenum for maximum awesomeness of the port job, then weld it back together. Only thing I'm a little disappointed about, I was hoping to strap on a 64mm throttle body to this some day and ummmm yea. Hopefully my caliper is off (but I doubt it), it's just a cheapy.

The inlet is opened up to only about 62mm :( I spoke with MAP and they assured me it would fit with a 64 so idk...my tools are not that accurate but whatever....I'll deal with that down the road.

Here's the stock TB, only about 60mm:

Quick rip around teh block and the car is leaning out almost a full point--that's a good sign I think :)

Most badass!

[Murlo26]

Sweet!

I am jealous for sure, I want to see what kind of gains you see if any. People have said the IM and TB aren't really bottle necks on the X's, I hope you see something...it will give me a mod to do next.

[FattyBoomBatty]

That's cool that it's noticeable on the gauge! Any seat-o-the-pants gains?

Looks nice!

I bet if you used nitrous and had a backfire that piece they cut open would put a nice dent in your wirewall.

Looks cool and hopefully you pick up some gains with it!
