Hey there guys, i know there is alot of controvery surronding the greddy-style (ebay) plenums, i have done some reading on previous topics, but no one actually flow tested one or showed pics after the install. I was just wondering if people could post up some pics of the install with one of these plenum's on, and possbile let me know wat to look out for when installing it. Mine arrived 2 days ago and doesn't look to be a bad product as described by other people. There was some small burs on the welds which i intend to file down n smooth out. Looks to me as the standard throttle body can be bolted stright up to this plenum, however i have read that a throttle body adaptor was needed in some cases. i am just wanting to know some of the pro's and con's bout this product and what to look out for when installing it. Is there any peices i need to buy e.g brass nipples etc or is it possible to hybridize them with the factory plenum. I will keep this thread going though the install process to let people know how i go.

cheers hamish. :laugh:

      Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!

      Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup

      Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛

      Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...

      Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
