Been reading into this the last couple of days. Wanted to see if anyone is running them and if so how well they worked and how much gains if at all IMG_1088.jpgwere had from it.

Looks like a very nice part. ITB's are usually not plug and play, but if I had the cash I would run that. I think the main thing would be the tune, you will need either a programmable chip, (There are like two) a piggy back or a stand alone ecu.
I would say go for it, don't be turned off by the price either... Carbon fiber is a bitch to work with and that looks damn hot.
Agreed, if i had the cash for that and the tune, id do it. I pretty much made one of those once, but i couldnt get them all synced perfectly as the adjustments had to be modified onto the tb exactly the same. Better off buying than trying to replicate.
Nobody would recertify these machines after somebody screwed with them without any visibility into what they did.

You'd need an ecu unless the plenum is configured for a MAF. For early cars it's not too hard to go with Megasquirt ECUs but as with later models, you have to figure in the vanos, then becomes more complicated especially when trying to integrate other systems on the main harness.
Checked out this system and it does use the factory MAF. So got to find someone to build a tune for it.
I did this for my other car.

Would be curious to see a before and after dyno test.
I think it will run fine, but without bumping compression and big cams, probably won't be too much more.
