Should I get the accufab tb/plenum combo with a CAI or would all that money not be worth it for me?

 

The Accufab unit looks really nice. I have the 75mm throttle body/plenum combo. I could feel more pull in the midrange and on top end. You get what you pay for, but the difference in reality is a few hp at the wheels at best.

In your sig, you say you already have a K&N filter w/ removed silencer. That should cover your CAI needs, unless you want some more show under the hood.

 

Do you have CAI?

 

Nope. I also have the K&N filter w/ removed silencer.

 

And did you instal your TB and plenum yourself? And did you notice significant difference after you installed it.........like worth what you paid?

 

I installed it myself. Had trouble with the two screws for the TPS from the stock unit, so I ended up using a Dremel tool to cut a longer, deeper slot for a flathead screwdriver. Used a big ol' trusty flathead and some muscle and they came out eventually. The PCV/EGR nuts/screws were a pain in the *** because I didn't have deep sockets, so I ended up using a wrench (forget what size).

I noticed the sound of air whooshing into the intake was much greater, and almost sounded like a turbo. Throttle response was much more precise, and like I said before, I felt more power starting from about 2k up to redline.

As far as price, I wasn't going to settle for less because I wanted the best. I felt that it was expensive, but I think I would have bought it eventually anyway.

Is your car a stick or auto? There is an issue with some units that people have reported the rpms hanging, and especially with an auto, that means longer stopping distances and just a pain in the *** when driving. I'm not sure if getting dyno tuned could help it out.

 

I have a stick........and I just don't know if I could afford a dyno tune right now.

 

You don't have to worry about it then, but just so you know, a dyno tune will help max out any power gains to be had with this stuff.

 

Did you get a tune? and how much did it run ya.......

 

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.
