WOW did I learn alot tonight reading these forums. I have to hit Tanabe tomorrow to exchange my exhaust, gotta goto Motorex to adjust my HKS suspension, then im goin to Technosquare to get an ECU upgrade. I had no idea there was an ECU upgrade available...and locally accessable too. If your lookin for a automatic to test your plenum on let me know lol. I already replaced my stock strut bar, so I got no problem loosin it. Initial pix look awesome.

Hell, I'll split the cost with ya Max... I'm curious to see this one.

We're taking our Paul's Procharged Z to the dyno tonight... I'd be willing to dyno this new plenum.

I mean, seriously... how long does it take to do a quick baseline with it???? Just an hour at most...

Wasn't this original post almost two weeks ago?????

It does seem like it is taking a while to get info on this new plenum design. However, I am hopeful that the extra time is being used to design a superior product. If so, sign me up for one!

I'm curious to see what each port flows on a flow bench. if they are equal i might be very interested as when I go twin turbos, i'll be looking for a new manifold. If anything, it does look way better than the stock one.

Yeah, under the pressure of boost, this plenum would be just fine if it just gets equal flow to all of the cylinders even if it doesn't make a bunch of power by itself.

So I am still confused about a TT setup. I am getting the GReddy TT and am thinking about future mods revolving around this. I have to take out my intake but can I still put in an Intake Plenum like this one or not?

Silent-
A plenum of this nature should be compatible with any future TT upgrades you plan as long as they both maintain the use of the stock air meter and throttle body.

Recently, most people are of the opinion that the better you car flows air in NA tune, the better it will do when using FI. Obviously, high compression pistons are not part of that equation.

Silent, you've posted the same question in over 3 threads now and got responses in each of them. How about doing a little searching?
