Yeah Robert, I know what has been posted, but the funny thing is that we over here in Europe are also waiting for them to be shipped... from the US as we are being told. Now, go figure!

IMO this plenum still has to prove its self as I have yet to see 20+ psi flow thru this thing??
I would try it but my plenum leaks, Cosworth resent my plenum that was "fixed" but still leaked. Cosworth is manning up and getting me a brand new one. So someone getting Phucked thats waiting for one. I am personally driving to Cosworth on Tuesday and handing this thing to them with some nice pics of this thing bleeding out like a stuck pig. I would not doubt it that some of you guys that have the plenums are leaking too. You just cant tell until spray some meth and make it leak.
Does this thing work (make Hp)? Hell yes! I made 510Rwhp on Sharif dyno on wastegate spring (boost controller off) that like 540- 550 on the DJ on wastegate spring, no race gas. However once we turned up the boost those "quality CF end caps" Failed. Cosworth is so far backing me up and helping out by getting me a new one. There is a car being dynoed soon on boost and nitrous if it holds (wish i pray) then I did in deed get a bad apple, adn of course I know those things happen.

Hey, are you really going to drive down to Cosworth if it leaks again? We'll need to strap you up with a helmet cam if you do.

It would be a real shame if these plenums don't hold up to high boost after all the time and money you guys have invested. Otherwise... If his leaked at 20PSI, the carbon fiber endcaps on yours might crack or come flying off at 30+PSI.
It's a good thing that I plan to be sitting on the trunk of your car when they dyno it. I'll be shielded from any catastrophic failure and have sufficient cover if it blows.

Yes this is going in my check in baggage when I go back to Cali on Monday! First thing Tuesday I am walking in to Cosworth and dropping it off. Eric said that was cool with him and would be better!
