Yeah I have them
They aren't on the car yet.
To be honest, with the price they cost (I think I paid around $100 for both TB and intake manifold), I guess just try and see.

I mean, the theory seems to be pretty sound. It may only give you just a couple of kw, but when you are running out of things to do to get more power...

definetly a bit noticable after i fitted em..

you know that illusion when u drive ya car in the morning and it seems more powerful.. then as it warms up to operating temp it settles down again..? its the same as that but it still feels more torquey/responsive after its hot

dont think theres theres much actual power difference though, if so it'd be more torque than power because theoretically the faster the air moves through the manifold the less time it would have to heat up

worth the money though IMO after a CAI and exhaust.....

You won't 'feel' a power difference but they do work. Rest your hand on your manifold after a hard drive. It'll burn you real quick but with these on I can leave it there much longer before having to move it. Its one of those 'add-up' mods as I like to call them. On their own they dont do much but as you do a lot of little things the car is just faster.
