Make sure you have a nice torque wrench. It turned out to be way easier then I expected.

Don't worry about the cutting, it's cool, you can do it. It's actually for those who live in really cold places and that tube passes warm air incase there is frost. If you put the valve there, it shuts off the warm air from passing thru therefore making it cooler.

I got mine about a month ago from the GB here on the forum and installed i myself. It was a very easy install, took about 2 hours because of all the reading and double checking what I was doing. Yes get a torque wrench, even a cheap one is better than nothing. I ran out and got one for $26 and that's really all you need. The cutting only happens on one rubber hose and if there's a mistake no worries as you'll just be installing the valve.

Ive done this a few times, (my car + Corsair, 4myZ350 and Bubble) its not hard. I have all the tools and could come over and help you provided we can get in out of the rain.

Week nights work best for me if you're up for it.

Most can do it without a reflash.

I usually bring up the reflash because sometimes it will lean out beyond nominal and not make additional gains. In this case it will help to get a reflash to flow a little more fuel to compensate for the additional air.

Hey I've heard of people installing their plenum spacer with a breaker bar, but this takes the cake!

i used a glove and a nut driver on youngz33 and my car, we didn't have a in/pound wrench, only foot/pound wrenches that wouldn't go low enough. A glove with a nut driver worked fine for us!

Oaky, the question of the day. What does it do? Give me the scoop. I do have the track model with the NISMO CAI, Header, Catback Exhaust. Would like to know about this item and what it does, as I see a sale on it right now on the forum.
Thanks in advance too!!!
