hyperdrive are the ones that do the $800 install and tune package, but they dont remove the plenum, to remove the plenum ur looking at an extra $500 or so, thats what i was told.. heaps of people have had theirs installed with the plenum in, but i havent heard any problems.. if there were problems, i guess they wouldnt do it anymore?

Hyperdrive did my old engine and never removed the manifold for drilling. It was my choice and I decided it would be ok. Car was fine for 2 years then got XSpeed to build the stoker for it.

Maybe I was lucky, don't know. But at the end of the day it's alloy and only a fraction gets in.

so would it be ok to just hook the map sensors up to a vacuum port? not tap the manifold. i have a vacuum distrubition block on my brake booster line(its inline on the hose between the manifold and brake booster) i was planning on running each map sensor to each of its own ports. would that work? or do i really have to tap the manifold(frowns) its so hard to take off once the motors in the car.

No ignore the post above yours, i would bet the tuner that tuned his was useless as the differrence between them setup up correctley is more that noticeable.

    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
