Benefits I got from Plenum
I installed my new Accufab 70mm TB and Plenum last week. I couldn't get the stock intake tube over the new TB so I installed a MAC CAI at the same time. Here are the benefits I got out of it:
The Good
Gas Mileage went up 2MPG (I expect a larger increase when my foot lets off the happy pedal)
Horse power curve moved up about 150 RPM!!! (picked up 0.2s in 0-60 time with the new curve)
Lighter throttle pedal
Easy Install
The Bad
Minimal horsepower gains (peak difference = 4)
I think I have a small vaccumm leak from the install
I do not know what anyone means by "Throttle Response", so I did not include it. I went with the 70mm because there is no difference in flow unless you have a SC or Turbo, and I will not be adding either to this car.

lol throttle response is when you step on the gas, the car goes immediately instead of thinking about it first
. i dont think the tb had anything to do with you taking .2 of your track time.. ill chalk that up to experience

Most guys on here are pretty good drivers; I, on the other hand, will take any help I can get from the mods.
I love the wheels on your TA!
