2XS Manifold Install.
Well, Troy had his work cut out for him on this install; heat-worked studs etc snapping off and the like during install. 106,000K on the clock.
So big thanks to Troy for dealing with all of that...
At the moment I have only some first impressions as still taking it easy with it.
First logs indicate at least 20-30Nm gain, but as I haven't tried to get one, I couldn't tell you a Kw peak.
Throttle seems to be more linear, mostly I am taking it easy at the moment because I'm a bit shocked at how much on-boost noise is being made.
I'm not sure if I've acquired the "kettle" noise previously discussed, however the moment it goes from vacuum to boost there's a LOT of apparently induction noise. It's very noticeable in the cabin with the windows up, less so with windows down.
I'm not especially bothered by noise, but until I've checked with Troy that it's not a problem, won't be opening things right up to get measured peaks and a clearer idea of how things have changed.
Instrumentation suggests everything is normal and as expected - boost peaking @ 18.9 up ~1 PSI....
