Thanks
p.s. you can leave the throttle body on but i would disconnect what ever intake you have . i.e. AEM,Ice Box ect.

i know niteqwill had done a DIY w/pics. it helped me when i did mine. the last i heard him say about it was that a friend had accidently tooken it off a server they share or something like that. then he said he was able to salvage them from some other computer. but i'm not sure if he said they were now available for our use. try hitting him up.
as with any work that you do under the hood, it's much easier doing anything w/the right tools. it took me awhile because of this and my damned back. but it's a relatively easy install (except for those hoses that won't budge). good luck.

Side question... Fuzzy. I thought you said you weren't going to do ANYTHING to this car? lol. I see you have a gigantor mod list, compairative to your old one.

Here is the new DIY: http://photos.phytte.com/thumbnails.php?album=2
I included everything but the torque specs... I had them listed in the last DIY that got deleted.
But the pictures should make the install much, much easier.

It's not listed on NiteQwill's DIY or Outlaw's instructions.
Thanks

The worse part was removing that cheap green paper gasket off the manifold, thing was stuck on like glue.

Ok they are in. It's wasn't too hard. Took me forever cause I droped a nut INTO the lower intake manifold. I had to find a way to retrieve it After that it was easy.
I don't notice a thing different. I don't feel any gains, & the intake manifold gets just as hot as before. I didn't install the coolant bypass though. I wanted it to look stock for when I had warranty work done.
Also not in the DIY is you have to trim the plastic intake cover to clear the TB wiring. It wasn't much. A razor took care of it.

Are the gains from this supposed to be immediate?

There is no gains, the point is to maintain the same amount of HP while the car is hot, ie: driving your car in cool weather 24/7 with out the sluggish feel of this vehicle when the weather is too hot while the engine is hot...
Unless im wrong by numbers on a dyno, but I certainly did not feel anything.

Im looking at their dyno and it doesnt seem right. The torque is higher than the hp....and even if it is mislabeled, he's getting maximum torque and hp at 5000rpm....I dunno bout you guys but when i dynod mine with headers, intake, and exhaust....my whp was at 232...and my torque was like 198~....and it almost flat lines from 3500-4500 and then a slight dip until 6800...
I call on their dyno.
