    Thanks. I probably going to stay with OEM from FCP, even though the price will be creeping up.

    I hope that OEM will last a long time. Will see. I am afraid that 5 years from now it will cost $300 or something crazy. I paid $186 for mine 3 weeks ago.

    Working on TB and DISA right now.
    Dinan TB was installed. It is only 1 mm bigger in ID that factory one. I was thinking it is a bit more. I am still going to keep and do not have a high hopes for additional power. Throttle response will be improved for sure.
    Also, pulled DISA. It didn't look that bad for 180k miles. Rebuild is the must in my opinion, so that is what's next on the list.

    I think Rob got the DINAN TB and Software III flash and told me that there was not much of a noticeable difference from the OE TB and stock tune. I think it is a combination of having the DINAN intake, TB, exhaust and tune that you will see a difference but for the amount of HP gain you will see it won't be worth the amount of money you end up spending when you can get other solutions that will get you more horsepower for much less. Still, having a full DINAN setup is still pretty cool and to have the DINAN badge on the car is still a nice statement in my opinion. I like seeing these updates Sergy!

    I don't think he has anymore. I hit him up for one awhile back and he said he didn't have any.

    I was ultra poor back then.

    Also I've since seen how bad my entire intake system including TB look. Have yet to see one in worse condition.

    I think I have two or three left that need to be repaired (plastic connectors got damaged in shipping). I've had all the parts for years, just not the time. Maybe @Galapolis has time to do the repairs and sell them?
