Its a git 2 fit, i had the velos plenum on mine, thats mine in vibrio's pic.
I changed mine back 2 standard but still aint sold it yet.
Its a right git 2 fit but make sure ur cam belt is done!
The lad i sold my plenum 2 was gonna get his cam belt done in the new yr but it snapped earlier today after say 39,000 miles!
Change it at 15/20,000 miles with the tensioner at 30/40,000miles if ur running an inlet!
Costs £20 for a belt off vaux and £30 fitting if it aint snapped (£200+ if it has)!
Get ARP rod bolts 2! £150, bargain compared 2 a new block!

39bhp my anus.

Arp bolts are more like £75, not £150. There is no reason that the cam belt will need changing more regulary because of an inlet manifold, unless your driving it harder because it goes faster.
