Wow really thats some good info.. I know I remember seeing several threads about people wondering if that could be done.. Nice job.

I would give you a rep point if I knew how..

OK , I installed tonight with my rev1 rom, rev limit 8150 , throttle mapping changes, speed limit cancel, fueling changes.
Drivability AOK, its much perkier, pulls hard 6500 - redline, its wet here but had no worries inducing slidy tale action in second from throttle with the traction ON all the way into redline.
First impressions - a good start, will work more over the week end and get some logs time permitting.

Rev2 will be ready by a.m.

I will going to the dyno in a week or so

Yes the tune is totally different. I'm going to work with TimB to test this the 2010 tune at sea level on a 2009 car. I hope it makes more power at sea level.

thats some "mightyfine" work lol no pun intended wel ok maybe...

they look good really good! are you planning any type of heat shroud arrangement?

also the cobb tubing coming straight off the throttl bodies, does that tubong already have the vacume ports or did you have to fabricate them into the tubing?

im so sick of my takedas i believe i am going back to stock since this is a four day weekend for me...

between the gas mileage and the hot air being breathed in by the takedas i am at the end of that rope, so back to stock intakes for now.

i would be willing to do a asetup like yours as i could franken build both stock and takeda to get something simular to yours maybe...

a guy in the forum did a ram-air type airscoop from the front grille, that might help with the hot air.. He fabricated tubes similar to the cobb pipes that lead to the CAI...

Yes we are still working on it. I've got a 2010 Rom to add to the firmware, but we are still working on the VVEL system. In order to produce "caned" maps we need to be able to tune the VVEL. Thats were the extra power is on these cars.
