i would expect little gain from a big outlay, a kew kw maybe if that and ever so slightly better response

a pair of cams would probably give better gain / response

Agreed any gains in response would simply be because of less piping needed to run a front mount intercooler. Power gains wouldnt be anything noticible. This is unless of course the standard item has become a retriction, you would have to be making some serious power before this happened. Money better spent on something like paul suggested cams, Engine management, Turbo, Fuel System ect ect.

Edited by fEkuaR

the stock item is only a problem if you have SUBSTANTIAL power gains and the original plenum is causing a restriction.

I've heard of 300rwkw on the standard plenum before even thinking about changing it. There is not much point until you reach that power level.

hey, guys those copy things are cheap but is shit. I bought those few month ago, u need to get some1 to tidy the surface, especially the face that attach to the engine block, is damn rough all around u can c little tiny hole on the top or too much on the bottom. It 100% need to be tidy up b4 u fit, as i tried to save that hundred buck and fitted and start, fuel and air leaking from the intake. Finally i told myself, do it once , do it right so bought the genuine greddy, u can tell the different.

Dude what are talking about. Today you already made this ^^^ bogus unsubstantiated claim of having both a fake GReddy plenum and not being happy with it and then bought a real GReddy so really should know above anyone else. Why Start a new thread when there is clearly already a thread discussing this at the moment and besides that the many other reviews given if you had just used the search function. RRRRRR frustrating.

Also please refrain from ‘txt’ replies ie. b4 any1

    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
