interesting point, its basically a plenum with no vis....which kind of makes you think it will lose all its torque...but still a great project and it will be very interesting to see the reality of the roller graph. Will answer a lot of questions.

think it might lose a bit a torque but may gain this back due to the way it picks up the rev range
the magic graph shows all

That's an airbox which replaces the OE inlet manifold, still looks to be running on the stock 180 throttle body so not an ITB set-up per say.
some pics off xpf..





single throttle body into a plenum.

The shortest route to the inner wing would be to the gap between the chassis rail and the inner wing under where the battery normally lives. You'd struggle to get an enclosed filter in there in a direct run but you could fit an open cone just the otherside of the hole, just watch out for deep puddles.

Just one last question, in the pictures on page 3 I see cable ties holding something in place under the air box, they look to be wrapped around the fuel rail?
i would like to see abit more than that but we dont know what it will gain and the cable ties was a test fit got all new fuel rails now

whats wrong with the normal zs throttle body, tbh i dont see any gain coming from a bigger t.b.
Is that all it needs, just a throttle body and then mapping on the rollers ?

you could be right there may be no or little gain with bigger t/b think G did ask the main man at WSR and he said that as well but that was on the 2.0 v6 until she goes on the R/R we just dont know

whats left to do well the big things are mapping,t/b(may be or not ???) air box/induction and probably some small bits to do as well
