Buying a used Accufab Plenum / TB kit

Xcessiv · Mar 15, 2007

Hi!

I found a decent used Accufab Plenum / TB kit for sale. I have a few questions before sending the money...

1) Which hardware should be included with the kit, apart from the plenum and TB themself?
2) Does mileage matter on a TB? The unit is around 10-15 000 miles old. I guess not, but I just want to be sure.
3) They're fully compatible with '99-'01 AND '01-'04 GTs, right?

Thanks.
Yan

New, you'd get two different adapters for the hose that runs out of the front - 99-01 were different than the 02-04. Now if he has the same year as you, this won't be an issue. Otherwise, does he have the additional fitting? Also, swapping it might be a bear as they simply press in - it's tight.
Other than that, just a TB gasket would have been included - you should be alright re-using it.
I'd have no problem buying one used...hope you're saving a few bucks!
It'll really kick in at WOT at about 3K RPMS - you'll feel the additional pull! Enjoy!

I'm paying 290$ for the kit, I guess that's a good price?

I'll ask about the fitting, thanks for the reply!

if it has the different sized fitting and he doesnt have the adapter, you can still make it work.

i ran into that problem. its a ghetto fix but it worked. Id get a small clamp to secure it though.

Is this the small or big fitting?

Am I overlooking something or is that a stock plenum

He's "BUYING" , he has not yet BOUGHT it...this is his current setp...ya hoser...JK bro!

d98gt · Mar 15, 2007

I thought that was the item he was buying

Xcessiv · Mar 15, 2007

Good, then I won't need any conversion. The one I'm buying also has the small fitting.

I'll try to fit the stock gaskets to that I only need the unit itself (attached).

Thanks for your help guys!

Yup thatll bolt right up.

I would also reccomend replacing the EGR gasket and maybe the IAC gasket if it looks a little bit old. If its coming together like that and the throttle body hasnt been seperated than the TB gasket should be fine.

Mileage doesnt matter either. When I took my stock one off with right around 100k it was just fine, a little dirty though.

Is that a 70 or 75mm? Looks like 70...

70mm??? I hope not, I'm paying for a 75mm unit hehehehe. Can anyone confirm from the picture?

BurningRubber · Mar 15, 2007

Cant tell from that angle.

Xcessiv · Mar 15, 2007

Hey guys.

How can I identify a 75mm vs 70mm unit using pictures, apart from the size itself? I want to ensure that the guy is going to ship a 75mm one.

Xcessiv · Mar 16, 2007

Here are the pictures:

Does it look like 70mm or 75mm? And does it worth 290$ considering the scratches here and there?

d98gt · Mar 16, 2007

Huge pictures

Why not get him to measure it? If I were selling an item for $300 I would do whatever the buyer requested.

He measured it... But I wanna be 100% sure.

d98gt · Mar 16, 2007

As for the price--it sells around $400 new so you might be able to get him to drop the price just a little more.

The gains of 70 compared to 75 are very little

Even with a SQ-Trim @ 10.5 PSI?

BurningRubber · Mar 16, 2007

75mm all the way for forced induction.

Its really hard to tell from the pics since there is nothing to really compare it to.
