why go to all that trouble and expense to build a motor and TT it and use the SSV POS? Get rid of that thing and you'll see instant power gains!

This is true but nothing out there would even look half as good as this.

Anything over the OEM plenum is better, or atleast that is my opinion.

I am not "show" but I still like things that look nice and clean.

And even though the SSV Plenum hasn't resulted in "huge" gains, I can't say I have seen a whole lot of proof that it hurts more than it helps.

I have dyno's before and after my SSV but mods and stuff were not consistant so I can't say if it is helping more than the OEM did so kinda goes back to I haven't seen personally proof of gains over that of OEM or other options. But it sure looks a hell of alot better in the engine bay.

And it still functions, air is def. still going through it lol so it technically is performing.

Anyway, cool pics... Image shack sucks though, take your pictures to www.photobucket.com

Good free image hosting site.

1600 bucks and reworking my piping for a couple hp just doesnt seem very rational.

Just what I was thinking. And I would Have to move alot of the piping around with the PETT.
I think that the SFR intake looks just as good as the SSV anyway.

someone could have 600whp and if they happen to have an SSV people will still ignore everything and say "show is more important than go" even though they're still making all that power with it

Here is a pic of the dyno sheet I got

[img=http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/6928/mark2001mr3.th.jpg]

The Power seems to have a great curve and comes on early but I got out 374hp Jason at altered said They could not boost more then 10psi I guess due to the turbo's size and exhust must have somthing to do with back pressure? Any coments or advise?

Oooh, yea, you have a Borla. Pretty restrictive for FI. I'd get something designed for turbo applications, then boost it on up!
