It's not just bling, it is functional and removes the restriction in the standard inlet system caused by the shonky elbow.

According to Mike...you do...as the airflow will be greater...BUT stay tuned as i may put it on my stage one and AFR it to see if it does dramatically lean mixture to a dangerous level.

Well i assume once fitted you just cut old boost hose to fit......its gonna only need a tiny bit by the looks as the throttle body must almost touch the intercooler!.....In theory this should decrease lag by a tiny bit as the longer the route from turbo to TB the more lag you get.

You need to make a throttle bracket and as you can see its a job getting the hoses attached as well!

Phil,
You can mount it where you like, as the tube allows all the vacuum take-offs to be mounted remotely.

So length of tube does not matter at all to the sensor mount?...I take it the ACT senor goes into the top hole of plenum?

Phil,
That is correct, it just unscrews from your existing one and rescrews (underneath).

Very Bling yet functional

I have mapped/help to map 5 cars with this plenum and it works very well

The idle speed is a bit touchy to map to get the emmisions right due to the
volume of the plenum slowing down the air speed at high vacuum conditions.
This is made even worse when big cams are used.

I will get one for myself one day
