Typoon intake manifold installed..

I got a really good deal on a Typhoon mani last week.. so I picked it up. Two of the studs where the coil packs bolt down to were cracked off.. The guy ended up giving me the thing, brand new, for 250.00. A little zip with the TIG welder, and the studs were good as new. I also bought a used C&L plenum.. and BBK throttle body for 100.00 off of the same guy.

I decided to toss everything on last weekend.. The install was very straight forward.. took me and a buddy maybe an hour. Everything fit perfectly, and the install went smoothly..

I am throwing a fuel rail pressure sensor code now.. I guess I might have damaged it.. it's just reading open circuit.. there's no break in the wires, or plug, so I assume that it's a faulty sensor. I also have a TPS voltage code.. so, I need to go in with a volt meter and adjust that.

I got a base dyno a few weeks ago, with the stock intake manifold and plenum/tb. I will be going back to the dyno this week to see what different the new intake/plenum and TB made. I also have a set of Houston Performance S292's and Comp springs/retainers that I will be installing next week.. I want to see the different with just the intake/plenum and TB before I install the cams..

The butt-dyno..

The car feels like it pulls harder up top.. but, no big difference (that I can feel) in the midrange.. But, I can definitely tell a noticeable difference out past 5 grand or so. I guess the dyno will tell the real story.

So is my intercooler and piping.. 400whp @ 8psi isn't too shabby..

Not necessarily... when you get up to bigger power levels.. it's harder to notice a difference in power, unless you're adding another 75-100whp.. IMO.. Sure, it might be good for another 15-20whp on a otherwise stock N/A 2 valve.. Who knows.. For the price, I figured, why not? It'll get me to the 600whp mark, which is my goal, so I'm happy with it.

Hell.. I hardly have time to toss on parts.. much less clean the engine bay. I do need a new battery though.. 80K miles and 7 years.. still going strong.. just looks ugly.
