There is no need to worry about this plenum guys! It's a hit IMO! It's been proven on Phils car that it can hold boost. SO BUY, BUY, BUY, BUY!!

This plenum has never let me down, JKenefic is making 650rwp with this plenum. The only thing I care about is making good power! I would rather have 650hp car making hard power for 2K rpms to redline, than a power curve that make 850hp thats looks like a a upside down "V".
IMO this Cosworth plenum failed (for $1100)! I have to worry about this thing leaking in time? phuc that!!

Crawford FTW!!!!!!!!
Sorry it didn't work out bro, glad your pleased with your current setup.

Hard to believe, but when you have to worry about a plenum's durability in the long run, then its no good.
Yes it does make better power than the rest, but agian when it holds air. If you were in my shoes you would've got rid of this thing a long time ago.
I am personally going to Cosworth in CA on Tuesday, so hopfully no one else has to go thru this Crap I went thru.

Cosworth should get some aluminum or even ABS plastic end caps out there and be done with it. Even better, offer some different configurations, optimized for FI vs NA. Then they'd have something... Carbon fiber, FTL!
