Got the plenum on mine, fitted by velos though.
Torque tube should give 20bhp.
They supply all the gaskets i think!
Would be a lot easier to do with the engine out of the car as the old inlet pipe is a git to remove!

It is a bitch to fit, but is possible aided by a Haynes manual and plenty of patience!
I had my TT fitted by Velos, as it was featured in the VxlSCC magazine HPm for a fitting guide

Are you off to PV2003? If so I will show you my engine. Or U2U me your address and I will send you a photocopy of the feature.
The biggest pain is removing the old inlet manifold, sorting the throttle body and all the breathers!

should not be too bad getting to it all with the engine out. but i tried to get my inlet manifold and throttle body off my c16xe when the engine was still in the car, and it was a right pain in the arse to get to.
