Not too sure - It IS possible to retain the idle control - however, they'd have to graft it onto the aftermarket plenum - and I imagine that'd cost $$$.

Biggest benefit I see with going aftermarket, is you don't get the heat soak that the pipes get when they're run across teh top of the motor... But that's only a real issue if you're sitting in traffic all day

Cheers,

in regards to the idle control component, from memory, hills were saying they do retain it - now wether i was misinformed, heard incorrectly or not knowing what im talking about is another story is it impossible to retain the idle control component on a custom plenum?

the message is very clear in what your saying. and that is, plenums are only beneficial with big HP and could, in some cases, cause more problems than anything.

i guess the answer i was looking for was wether or not the crossover piping is insignificant in terms of response. from the comments here it seems as though it isnt that bad....but i guess its just an age old thought that the additional piping is going to be significant...

think unless you are going a big high mount turbo as matt has said franky your hard earned cash is wiser spent in other areas such as a clutch!!! heheheh

The G-reddy/trust Plenum , provides better flow and hence power/torque and fuel ecconomy than the stock unit when fitted in conjunction with a front mount.

I think its a worth while one for those people (like me) looking to improve on what the factory did wrong.

Like :

Exhaust / filter / flywheel / thermal insulation / intercooler.

All these can yeild a power and fuel ecconomy bonus. Fuel ecconomy ones help pay back the cost somewhat over 1million years.

About $1350AUS for the trust plenum including delivery from japan from taka's. I wouldn't buy the aussi ones given they cost more and are no where near as well designed.
