Ryan, your ECU is pretty much a standard turbo one right. What are you going to do in regards to the AAC + IAA valve, FICD and idle adjusting screw with that plenum as it doesnt have them in the back like the standard plenum does?

ok if you look on the throttle, i am using standard not XF cos i have a clearence issue. there is a little scre the will hold the throttle ope, thats how my car idles. i have had this setup running NA so i know it works, and Tmattys is XF but the same way. only thing i have is the brake boost line and 1 single vac line that i t piece into boost gauge, wastegate, fuel reg, and whatever else. air con i think. runs a treat. idles a bit wacky when cold, but never stalls, and at running temp idles at 900rpm no probs all the time..
