Nothing I caped it off, I’m thinking I may have a vacuum leak add well. I don’t see another spot/hose for it to connect.
I do have the oem TB ported 5 mm I didn’t check to see how the Mate is, good idea I’ll check it out now.
I didnt use any sealer on gaskets, they are cork gaskets think I should remove and seal??
Something is off, few times I’ve hit it and wow, pulls harder than ever, others just feels very lazy........
help!

😲😮😳 holy crap!! Maybe with heat and over night gaskets seals better or something, also did TB relearn
And wow today it’s whole diff car. Top end is just silly
slightly less low end but not dramatic, what a diff from last night and today. Very happy with the intake

Dam you about dead on !
Awesome! I'm thinking it will be between 285 - 295 whp.. I think the Velocity doesn't make as high peak whp, but does sustain that power higher into the RPM range than the DE plenum & spacer. It all comes down to the tune, though your build reminds me of Alex Refro's build, he dyno'd 304 whp with an Admin intake, and Velocity manifold. (think he put a velocity stack onto his intake as well)

Excellent !
I'm still waiting for my one to arrive in the UK
It looks like you're revving pretty high, have you got any supporting parts for that ? (as I assumed you're a DE as well)

The only supporting part I have is rev up oil pump, all other internals are oem...... I’m not even sure what RPM to shift at for maximum MPH/ET. Moncef said all the way to 7500, but I don’t want to grenade the engine lol. I was planning on shifting right at 7-7100 rpm (only At track). What do y’all think best RPM would be? Also is it the connecting rod bolts that are weak? If so can oil pan be removed and bolts be swapped for safer operation to 7500?

It's the same as me then, my one is limited to 7k at the moment.
I was informed not to just put new rod bolts in, however I'm not a seasoned engine builder so I don't know if that's correct.
Hopefully someone can say.

According to Nismo you can just add their bolts and pump and rev higher. I am not a seasoned builder but I am a mechanic and on big diesel engines they would inspect the main and rod bearings and put them right back in if nothing was wrong with them, hopefully someone that has more experience on this engine can chime in.

Thank you for the compliment! I’m with you on that rpm to shift at, Ive only taken it up to 7500 rpm a few times.... man that is freaking addicting!!! The sound the engine and intake make is insane!! Literally screams lol, I’m VERY happy with the outcome and the kinetix manifold, for those questioning
that manifold, it does exactly what it claimes to do. For me anyway. I’m extremely impressed, what I’s also impressive
is the low end gains, lost zero anywhere on the graph.

See, we said it would bud.
Now I'm just waiting for my one to show up !
Hopefully it arrives the end of next week.
My one had better make some more poke too !

Yey, it arrived on Friday!
Remap on the 30th, will dyno/remap first with how it is now, then fit the Z1 intake and dyno/remap again.
I followed the instructions and left their gaskets on and removed the oem ones. Stupidly I had bought an Motordyne Aramid gasket for it though, doh.
Im not into chrome stuff or engine bay tarting up but you know what, it looks quite nice under there.

Cheers guys, just remember my numbers will look potentially far lower than what you or anyone else gets 
It's a brutal dyno but I use the same one for consistency
