i have the same conbo, but i have the 70mm instead of 75mm. i had mine installed by someone cause im a retard, but also had it dyno tuned at the same time and picked up around 7rwhp. u could easily install it yourself tho.

RE: TB/Plenum/CAI worth it?
i have the 75mm Accufab TB/Plenum but i got it because of the better throttle response i got and you definitely do not feel any hp in the but dyno[&:] but there is a very slight hp increases on N/A cars. i also have a JLT CAI and i love it.
you do not need a dynotune after you get any bolt on put on.... and its totally not worth it unless you "need" it like pi swapped cars to utilize the whole bump in compression and higher octane you use to prevent knock/ping. or a supercharger. to me its not worth getting it dynotuned for $500 bucks or whatever it is in your area, just after you get a tb/plenum.

Forget the CAI, the stock intake is a CAI and a not half-bad one at that. [/align][/align]As for the TB & plenum, I'd buy a handheld tuner before bothering with any intake mods (open up the exhaust first, if you haven't already). A handheld and a premium fuel tune (93 if you can get it) and the stock intake willprovide more power increase (still not a lot, but more) than an aftermarketTB/plenum with the OEM tune--and allow you to dial in even more when you do do some intake mods...[/align]
