Hello Ken and folks. I finally had some time to install my inlet today. I was reviewing this thread thing yesterday and decided i was ready. I would, add some more details on the how to as there are some little things not covered. most of them are probably assumed to be part of the routine, i suppose. The install took me about an hour and a half. i was also cleaning as i went and trying to figure out how to install the tranny mount upgrade. And only 1 beer. That means it went well i think. It is neat that the battery tray has a feature that allows you to remove a side and slide it out. I did not figure that out till after i removed the battery though. doh! I have an MSCAI, so ithink for those of you who do too, you should break that free early on, from its mounting point to the body. Just loosening it will help. And make it the last thing you tighten. The next to last to tighten might be the only intake mount point that way you will not be fighting to tie the two silicone hoses together. Its no big deal just a thought. Something occured that i did not like though. As i was wiggling the stock inlet to remove the recirc hose the thing pulled off the turbo. mmm.. the turbo. did not think i was horsing it very hard. Any ways all back together. I started her up. Just fine. so i guess i hooked everything back up ok. No real difference in sound. drive it nicely to the store to get more beer. The store that is further away. I get into it a little, there is the turbo sounding. not bad. Start playing with the throttle response. that i really notice, but i am still mostly listening. I get to the store and it is idling rough, not misfire and the tach says around seven hundred. ok. Come out and restart. #2, idling the same. So i need to clean out the plugs, if you know what i mean. I got some misfires and then she knew we were going to run. This Ecu is something else. Throttle response is quicker. noticably. maybe alot. That part i am really liking. I had to come home so that is as far as i have gotten. I think by the next two start cycles the computer will settle in. And i will wind her up and see what i see. I think my mods have begged for this piece, even more so after looking closely at the stocker inlet chambering. I will probably lose some low end but i hope to get more mid and maybe more at the top. I am pleased so far and cannot wait to get up tomorrow morning and let it run. Thanks Ken..I LIKE IT
