One thing I had pointed out to me , if u get a skunk2 I/M and a t/b as well , the I/M must be the same size as the t/b,
I got a 70mm t/b and my i/m is 68mm, so I have to bore the I/m 2mm, if u can't get sensors off old I/m then u will need new, if ur gasket is fuct, u need new one, so yeah, should be straight forward , skunk2 parts are cheap from USA ATM!!!

my thoughts exactly... does the position of the throttle body in the engine bay change with the new manifold, just wondering if cai will need modifying

it doesnt move that much, how solid mounted is ur cai?? u shud be able to move it about a bit

[menacer]

not mounted yet lol. put it on hold while i decide weather or not to to do tb and manifold... didnt wanna fit it all up just to pull it off again... especially if it needed modifying.

hey guys earlier this morning I was running the car and after a while the engine cel light came on but from what I could tell there was no issues with the engine running at all, sound-wise and checking the engine itself under bonnet while was running with the light on. I turned the car off for a couple of minutes then started it back up perfectly fine and had no light until i attempted to start driving the car on road so I pulled back and turned off again then waited another 10 minutes. This time the car did the same thing except no light after going back onto road and was good for the last 50km home.

Like stevo says, pull the code. Next time you get the CEL, lift up the passenger side carpet to expose the ECU and count the number of blinks (long and short), then check a chart to find out what it is.

thats wat im using, lil to no probs and i shift pretty hard, only prob is we didnt tighten it well first time and i lost a nut atm bottom and makes ur shifter rele sloppy, so use some lock tite.
