I know I have been hinting and/or telling people about this for the past month or so...but I finally got everything lined up and figured out and began removal/installation this past week. Took 4 days after work to remove, clean the valves/runners, swap all the parts from one manifold to the other, reinstall, gold wrap my heatshield, header wrap and gold wrap my intake (every degree that the intake air doesn't heat up helps IMO), put the bumper back on, and test drive her happyanim.
I only have logs after finishing and letting the car warm up for 10 minutes in 93 octane mode, so no adaption, but I will be slowly adding more logs in different conditions (i.e. different settings on the DO controller, different octane in the APR 100 octane mode, different ambient conditions since last night it was at 100% humidity and raining...etc). I will also be going back to the dyno soon and will report pre/post results of water/meth as well.
I probably will not have any more information this weekend because I have a wedding and a family reunion to go to, but hopefully these pictures will satisfy everyone until next week when I get some more logging done.
Pre Install pictures, all nasty in there:
Can't see the valves, but they had less than 0.5mm buildup I would estimate, the best I have seen so far for a car with 45k miles. I HIGHLY recommend running different oil then the Castrol (I run Mobil 1 0W40) and at least once a week running it on the highway at above 3k rpms (so about 70 mph in 5th gear) for 20 minutes. I read this in the VW patent and apparently it helped out in my situation:

Direct Port Manifold and stock Manifold getting to know each other:
New setup and intake/heatshield with gold pics with my crappy camera (will use the SLR to get better ones soon enough):
Special thanks to:
Chance@Devil's Own for the awesome technical support, if you haven't had an opportunity to work with Chance, he is a great guy and a big help. Devil's Own is just a small company trying to keep their head's above water with the like's of Snow Performance and others. They rarely have the opportunity to spend 10's of thousands of dollars in advertising, so this is my ad for them. If you want the same results as a Snow Performance kit at a lower price, with IMO more physical functionality (come on, I have a direct port block to feed each runner, I didn't see that at Snow's website, but I didn't look hard either, my mind was set on Devil's Own), go with Devil's Own! You will not regret it!:happyanim:
BSH Speedshop for drop shipping the kit since they didn't have it in stock and I was impatient! Another excellent company, but who on here doesn't know that already? :thumbsup:
Lyon Racing (and the driver's wife) and "the roommate" for letting me use their garage and helping with the install and forcing his wife to leave her car (the pumpkin mobile...:lol outside in the rain all week while I goofed off on my car, I owe you Mel!:bow:
