Got mine today. Amazing, because it was in Chicago yesterday. I washed it out real good (there were some contaminants inside), but other than that it looked real good. Ken's powerball is very effective
Install was pretty easy. I wasn't too thrilled that I was able to remove my old inlet without loosening the clamp. After I got it off, I checked the screw, and it hadn't even been tightened. This was not from the factory, mind you, but from the dealership when I had the engine replaced.
The toughest part of the install is figuring out the best orientation for the clamps. I found the best access for the one closest to the turbo was pointing down towards the rear at about a 45 degree angle. You can get a nut driver back there end get pretty good torque. The one that holds the inlet pipe to the coupler worked best pointing straight up. Put it on so it's closest to the firewall. Also, MAKE SURE you replace the original vac hose (small diameter one) with the hose Ken sent. The original won't reach, so put the new one on the engine-side nipple BEFORE you try to attach the inlet.
Here are a couple of pics of it installed. I like the way it sounds - my intake noise went down, and the forge is a little less harsh. Performance-wise, I'll wait 100 miles and see. So far i'd say it's money well spent. Thanks, Ken!
P.S. - I highly recommend a reticulating socket adapter for the two clamps by the turbo.
P.P.S. - Ken - that vac hose could be about 1/2" longer. Mine was a pretty tight reach.
