Question Cosworth Plenum F/I Owners
Anyone having issues or problems with their new Cosworth plenum? I started a thread stating I got mine and a couple people posted about some issues they had. Please share your stories/issues here. Thanks!

I haven't even installed mine yet. I just started a thread; "My Cosworth Plenum" and people made some post that brought me some concern. So I'm curious to see if others are having problems.

I decided to not get mine polished, at least not yet. Sorry for the newb question, but besides bling factor are there any other benefits to polishing the plenum?

After a few boosted installs here running as much as 700whp, no major problems to report.

They do not clear aftermarket injectors and/or upgraded fuel rails. So we created a spacer kit (found here)

We had one end-cap o-ring that was slightly too big, possibly stretched out during install. Solution: cut 1/2inch out of it so ends meet, and put a little dot of silicone there to complete the seal.

I was banned once for making a post. Guess that's all it takes these days.

I can appreciate what you're saying doug, and to some extent I agree. However, to me, the other side of this coin is that this is a guy who is just really excited about being FI soon (hopefully). I just hate seeing crap like this started.
