The threads first proposal, how romantic! I had no qualms handing over the cash for the throttle body just because it looked so good. As Yeti said I'm sure they work well too but I'm in it for the hairstyles, and nothing fit on front of their plenum like their own throttle body - if you look at the design of the Plazmaman TB you'll see it carries the same flange as their plenums. The two were designed to work with one another Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Which was a bit of an issue I had with my intake manifold. I had to get it drilled to suit, but well worth it!

True if you only cared about performance it'd be a forward facing RB30 maatouks special on RB25 runners haha but we all need to have a hairstyles engine bay at one stage in our lives. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I see it as living in WHONXT's limelight, but its just plates. The rest of the car is great.

Yeah thats it, I know what you mean. How much power you looking at? Them plates will require a little bit of power to back them up I think Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Them plates will require a little bit of power to back them up I think With the current bubby turbo I'd be happy with 230kW at the treads however have been told that upto 250 is achievable. This year was always going to be the year of custom trim and T04Z, though. Those HKS units are a bit of gear Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Between that, the bullet centre nut and the 'HKS T04Z' stamped into the compressor housing I reckon they're a nicer looking unit. That and not everyone has one!
