Seems to come with a throttle body also, looks like someone got a bargain.

 

Cheaper than a plenum spacer even!

[Andy75]

Crap how did I miss it

[Dblock]

Didn't these keep cracking?

[Wasso]

And they look f'ugly!!

 

I wouldn't bother to be perfectly honest.

[Stew]

Some cracked in the states. Never heard of them cracking here.

[rtbiscuit]

without an FI setup they make as much power gain as me farting into your air intake.

 

there were cracking issues with the early ones but they brought out an improved version, and the big advantage of them is they are easy to paint.

[coldel]

I think one or two cracked in the US, which was then commented on by about 10,000 people on forums, making it sound like more of an issue than it actually was...

 

...I actually thought good deal, throttle body for nowt really!

Rubbish. They produce gains the same as a spacer as they do the same job.

 

The polished up SSV (now velocity) really needs FI to see gains though, maybe this is what you're thinking of.

[Wasso]

It's still f'ugly

 

 

Edit - I'd prefer Rich to fart in my intake than have that - sorry

Would he fit under the bonnet?

 

Also he wouldn't be a permanent mod would he?

Not the prettiest thing in the world il admit,but il what gains it gives after its been stripped,crack checked and painted.

They are only jealous Daryl

 

Wasso doesn't like it because its not shiny

 

RT diesn't like it because its not made of wood

That is very true statement

 

To be fair I have the MREV 2, so gains have already been gained.

easily done

[spursmaddave]

Glad to see you both took it in good humour

 

Now play nicely next time :fight:

[Daryl]

We shall see what state it it arrives in,itl need a repaint,so may go with something like my blue Typhoon intake pipe,happens to be very close match to Azure. Or i may just do it black,we shall see.

Will i need the Uprev straight after fitting,or will i get away without one for the time being?

[Wasso]

You should be ok without having the uprev, but just keep an eye on things.

 

Didn't I read someone added some mods and was running lean somewhere, not sure what they were or how many mods.

 

Although saying that I swapped out my lower plenum and had no issues, and on the revup it makes nice gains so the changes were coped with and adjusted by the ecu with no issues.

 

Wonder if you can polish them up??

 

If not like you say clean it up and powdercoat blue.

[Ian]

How did we all cope before uprev came along

 

It was the SSV that had the cracking issues & that was normally only ever under boost.

 

Just be aware that you will need spacers to raise the strut brace a bit & also that a Cusco strut won't fit over this - not sure about any other after market braces though
