All Genuine Parts, Big Baller Alert!
John, it did not occur to me to buy this part when I put my order in so I went ahead and ordered everything OEM and OEM+ to bring the car back. The previous owner used cheap Chinese made parts to save money and he knew he would not have to worry about the pitfalls of using cheap parts on this car. I'm just going thru everything when I can and replacing with OEM or better parts and also upgrading when I can. I have done a lot to this car but still have a lot more I need as well as want to do to this car. :) There will be a lot more work in store for this car. Going to do it better than I did on my first ZHP :coolQuote:

Getting this kit over the winter months . . .
When installed will look like this

Then sourcing Velocity Stacks for my ITBs

So when done will look close to this[emoji41]

The induction sound will be even more aggressive than what I currently have with my Gruppe M intake. Will also add engine compartment bling to my ZHP[emoji41]

Wow I didn’t know ITBs were a thing for an E46! Who makes this kit? Does it add any power?Quote:

Do you have to do any software/fueling for it?
You do have to get a tune for this setup and I am working with a very good friend who has all the information I need to get this done for my ZHP :coolQuote:

Of course it all depends on if my G.A.S. CCV Replacement kit clears the ITB . . .

If it does not clear then I won't be doing this mod. I would rather keep my G.A.S. CCV Replacement kit in place for my ZHP build so I will have to see . . .
EDIT: I won't be getting the S54 Throttle Bodies as they won't clear my CCV Replacement kit.
How is the GAS replacement kit working out? I remember seeing GAS announce that kit years ago and it sounded like an awesome idea vs the catch can alternatives. Too bad I'm in California...not sure if it will pass visual.
