Sorry, one more question:

Will adding the MREV2 + 5/16 spacer change the sound of my G? If so, how will it sound after install?

Thanks.

 

im not sure about the 5/16" cuz i got a 1/2" and mrev2 on my car. my car with a 1/2" adds a bit of a deep growl to it.

 

Again...all your basic questions your asking can be answered here...

Thanks.

 

Just ordered MD 5/16 and MREV2 Isothermal today! Should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to install!!!!

Thank you all for you help and advice as always.

Happy holidays

 

you'll get the bug and end up buying the intake too...

Good choice for now though.

 

Just installed my MREV2 and 5/16 isothermal plenum spacer today. Took me about 3 hours to do with no help. The hoses in the back of the upper plenum were a nightmare to remove! I probably spent about 30-35 minutes getting the 2 hoses removed from the back! I had to hold and balance the upper plenum out of the way with my right arm, while using pliers to relieve the tension on the tip of the hose with my left hand and using a flat head screwdriver with my right hand to shimmy the hose loose.

After that, everything went pretty smoothly.

The only main problem I encountered was that I over torqued one of the six bolts on the lower plenum and the tip of the head broke off. However, the other 5 are still intact and tightened.

I have 3 questions if you guys can help me out:

1) Will that broken bolt give me any problems in the future, or should I be relatively okay? I don't want to have to worry about it in the back of my head everytime I'm driving thinking something is going to blowup or burst.

2) I didn't install the CCV kit. Should I be okay without it, or should I install it? Will not installing the CCV kit cost me any loss of hp and performance??

3) Also my idle seems to be a bit low (idle is at 600). Is that normal or is something wrong? I reset the ECU by disconnecting the negative terminal and stepping on the brakes a few times.

 

The bolt should be replaced – even if things seem okay, I wouldn’t run without it… The CCV is pretty easy and really does lower the plenum temp notably! Will this result in added hp that you can feel? Probably not, but every little bit helps (IMO)… 600rmp at idle in drive is not too low… I’m 650. If it’s 600 in P that’s a little low… what was it prior to install?

 

I have a 6mt and before I think my idle was a bit higher around 800-1000rpm's.

 

that seems high... someone with an MT will have to chime in...

 

Wow... huge price difference...
