i'm pretty sure that if you search this product on this site, you'll find plenty of testimonials, facts and maybe even dynos.

Nope, just do it yourself. It's quite easy, just be careful about dropping debris while doing the intake manifold part.

yeah btw pretty much it keeps your car running cooler so it will give you a few gains.. which isnt bad at all for $100... Cause the dyno shows like a 5-8HP increase..

Its really good if you plan on some kind of FI

It is not worth having to pay someone to install it. DIY.... I have a simple guide .

It's really easy to install. I took me about 2 to 3 hours and about 4 to 6 beers.

it crossed my mind to guzzle a few down during the install. but i would've been more stressed/pissed off if i did. fuckin' hoses wouldn't budge!

can i stress the point for not dropping anything into the lower IM?!!

and don't overtorque the bolts since its soft aluminium

that's the other thing that is extremely important. the torque wrench may not be easy to come by (or to get lent to you) but it's highly recommended.

Installing with FI has an additional complication as it shifts the IM upward and changes the alignment of the Intake Elbow and the blower outlet. Remounting the Intake Elbow was a pain in the ass.
