Honestly mate , they are very average quality , why are you wanting a forward facing plenum , most instances you end up with less power across the rev range. The only reason I'd ever consider one is if i couldn't possibly keep the original . There are numerous threads in the forced induction forum and will most likely answer your question if they fit with a quick search

I've got a plazmaman on mine, fkn love it :D Heaps better than those shitty ebay ones, I had one of those on my VLT and ended up spending more money getting it to fit, port matching, extra holes, TB not fitting, ugh, it was such a pain. Plazmaman was like Bam! straight on.

I like my plazmaman, I don't know about best but I think it looks mint.

CPC also does nice plenums, he's on this forum over in the fabrication part.

Ryan Capel makes amazing everything, he's in Ulverstone.

so it would be worth the extra $ :) i dont want to get one get it fitted then find out it no good

It depends on what worth your after?

If your just wanting to tidy up the engine bay then sure, but if your looking for performance increase not really.

wen and if i get one i want it for performance .. i dont want to get one and it does nothing later on .. get wat im swinging? :thumbsup: its for look but i want it for performence 2

There is a 99% chance that you will NEVER max out the stock one so be realistic, the only reason you want one is to tidy up the engine bay.

let be honest here, Forward facing plenums are totally sexy and if money was no issue we'd all have one.

Let's be honest unless your a Fast & Furious poser who likes to lift your bonnet so all the other posers can check out how much bling you have I stand by my statement above: 99% chance you will NEVER max out the stock one ;)

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
