Is this a good induction kit?

This has been floating around. Is it worth the money?

Well I’ve got one on mine and it sounds absolutely evil. Not sure about the power claims (self learning ECU ) but it sounds like it’s going to suck up passing animals and small children if they get too close. You really can hear it at idle and when you hit 2nd cam it lets rip. Sounds like Darth Vader breathing when you kill the ignition.

Listen at the very end of the video.

Easy to fit yourself or a garage job?

Didn’t fit myself originally but have had it in and out several times. 10-20 minute job now, maybe an hour first time around. Dead easy.

My findings were exactly the same, but with fitting an exhuast !

Don’t talk to me about friggin’ exhausts! In the past 24 hours my car has had cat+larini, decat+larini, (another) cat+larini, decat+stage 1, cat+stage 1, (another) cat+stage 1.

Right now it has no exhaust cat or anything, no mid undertray, no rear wheel arch liners and no diffuser. Oh, and no center console (??)

Off to the local Toyota dealer in a mo. to pick up a �27(!!!) gasket.

Looks like another day on my back covered in grease!

Quite easy, hardest bit is getting the old airbox out, it’s a bit fiddly.

Instructions tell you to jack up and remove the LH wheel and liner, but I found it doable without bothering with this.
Removed the side pod to get a better view.

That’s a very good price though, if I didn’t already have one I’d be jumping at that.
