I know.. I posted that for others who may be interested.. Mine does have that piece there but looks to be a different shape.

I'll post a pic of mine in a minute to compare.

 

obz is a good guy, and the ebay postings are over. so for anybody looking to buy one, its a great deal

 

yeah i kno hes a goood guy.
i just wanna know what else i need before i install this because im not messing my car up.

 

Thanks bro! I appreciate the kind words

Here are the pics of mine. Basically it looks like its just there to restrict it down to the size of the hole and provide the seal.



The piece pulled out.


The hole without the piece in it.


Now I don't know for sure but comparing mine to the pics on the last page, I don't think the 08+ man's need anything other than the gasket.

 

oic, the 08+ manifolds have a tiny hole to begin with

 

That's what I figured. So you guys should be good!

 

so than do i need that little seal piece? or do i not need it??

 

I think it is built in. So you should be good.

 

Bankerbalt installed his 08+ without it and has had no issues

 

so than all i need is the heater hose.
also obz in the pic of your manifold theres a little conector at the top of the pic of the hose. do i need that or do i take it from the end of my current hose to my stock mani

 

No you just reuse your old one. I just left it on there when I parted out the car.. I didn't even hook the other one back up! Lol it was just going to scrap anyways.. so yeah all you need is the 2 feet of heater hose and a couple small hose clamps.

 

alright cool!
all i need now is my header and a tune.
but i need a job first before i can get either. well i can get the header w out it but i need a job to get the tune. is the only way to do it is to go thru the trifecta site?
i wouldnt mind geting it tuned by a shop but i dont know of any localy.
also if iwas to get it done by a shop how would i get my car there with the 2.4 TB on? or would i have to install it at the shop?

 

You would need to swap it at the shop. 4 bolts, 5 minutes.

 

alright.sre there any alternatives to ordering the tune via email. bc trifecta is like 500 becsuse of the security deposit and all that

 

i just installed my manifold, that bitch roars. i havent really tested it at high speeds yet but the sound it makes was worth the 100 bucks regardless of performance lol

 

the shift in the pull is great, instead of topping out, it pulls through 6k

 

Ok I need your help guys. I put on my intake manifold Monday, and I got a cel tonight, engine too lean. What the hell did I do wrong? Everything is tightened to spec and all sensors are attached

 

Ut ohhhhhhhhhh

 

you probably just need a tune.. what intake do you have?

 

??didnt sound any different on mine? lol

 

Did you disconnect the battery for 10mins? then let it idle for around 5 before you go out driving? Then when you start driving dont beat on it right away, take it to 3-4k a few times then a few 6k pulls and let it idle again.

 

Can I ask why? And what that is supposed to do?

 

yeah what will this do

 

It resets the ECU so it can relearn everything.

 

this, and the reason for idling is it relearns the idle better (since your changed something) I did that with mine and have thrown no codes related to intake manifold.
