Ebay Plenum :) Worth The $$?

[Addicted2BoostR34]

hey guys im looking at the plenums of ebay most ppl i talk to say if you port match them there grate ! just woundering if any1 has done it to a neo 25? any help or links to goodies will be grate

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 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 want to tidy up my engine bay, atm my cross over cooler pip hits the bonnet because the tards didnt know how to install it the right way sp plazmaman is good ? i just want one that fits and works well

[Xaviercrouch]

Plasmaman is the best. I have one aswell

[Addicted2BoostR34]

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

[zoidbergmerc]

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.

mine came with an autobarn greddy rip off plenum & the old owner had to do a fair bit of porting.

if i was you i would go plazmaman or CPC as peter said he dose some nice work

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.

performance i want to do it right the first time

Use the money for other supporting mods

this, front facing plenum isn't nessasary till you start making BIG power.

[Addicted2BoostR34]

i need squirts but im hateing on the look of my engine bay

[zoidbergmerc]

yeah I was the same, needed a front facing because of looks. Got the plazmaman, loved it. Plazmaman even make piping kits so it'll plumb right up, no custom tom foolery at all.

[toffy]

So it's not for performance , it's for aesthetics?

[Addicted2BoostR34]

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? its for look but i want it for performence 2

[zoidbergmerc]

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

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'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

urrrrrr I don't know, I've been reading a fair bit that it helps get more power when you're running high boost with a bigger turbo. like GT35 kind of sizes.

[Addicted2BoostR34]

yes i want to tidy up my engine bay but i dont want to get a shit cheep one that will "do the job"
