anyways i got the nistune in and running quite good with a couple of adjustments and saved to the ecu started to see what it was like and overall not bad.... Going to ring up some dyno tunners in the morning and see what prices i get quoted...then take it to the cheapest one and get it tuned properly then will be all sweet... Well my malpassi rising rate fuel reg came today, so this is now installed, so i wont be leaning out to much on boost! I got some pics, so here they are!!!

That plenum looks nothing like the one you posted before. Why did you run the plenum side piping back to turbo side instead of going straight down near the battery?

Yeah coz this plenum i just brought coz there still making my polished one. i will get that in next couple of weeks and i only had it there to test out the plenum, it now has the stock plenum back on it. didnt want to cut up my cooler piping and then couldn't put it back to stock plenum again....Lucky i didn't coz the car ran like **** with that plenum on and was jerking and ****. i'm just going to leave the stock plenum on it for now until i get my polished one and will through the A8 motor in and put the forward facing plenum on at the same time
