Paradigm Performance Ported Intake Manifold

Very interested in this service. I'm wondering if anyone has their ported IM and can give me a quick user review.

I would like a review as well.

Thank you in advance.

I did find this...
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/se...-reviewed.html

I inspected the new parts from PPI and the port work looks good, they clearly shaved off some meat around the intake runners to improve the already good stock gasket match job. The went on down into the runners a bit to straighten things out a bit too. On the throttle body side of the intake they hogged out the opening and provided a bigger gasket to match.

Wayne does good work. Not much to say about it otherwise, he ports the intake out as far into the runners as he can reach and matches the gaskets perfectly. Perfectly happy with mine.

I don't know gains and did not feel improvements with my buttdyno. I'm using his 65mmtb and ported IM.

One thing i would like to warn people of is the service. After you pay him, you will not be able to contact him. So if you are going with him for the cheaper prices, then just place your order and wait patiently.

Plus, the tb I received has massive corrosion and looks like ****! Felt like I was gonna catch a disease if I didn't wear gloves while handling the TB. It also has the whistle/squeak when you push the gas pedal in. VERY annoying, specially in stop and go traffic when you are constantly pushing on the pedal. Iv asked him a few times about those 2 problems and he ignores all my emails.

I will not be doing any more business with PPI again.

I hope for no problems, but I will say with you being turbo and me N/A there are a slew of factors to consider before I pass judgment. Still sucks that you felt you got jobbed for you hard earned money.

What does turbo and n/a have to do with the service? What factors are you talking about

Factors such as your tune post install of TB & IM.

You've criticized the TB alone, and that I understand. You mentioned nothing of the IM port work which is what I'm getting. I have always been able to reach PPI no problems, so your experience may limited. I have not heard one bad thing about PPI in the RA community so that factor speaks volumes as well

This is not meant to be argumentative by any means.

I did not post in regards to the performance of his products.
I'm simply letting people know about the service and quality of the items
I received. My intake mani came dirty as **** and had to spend quite some time cleaning it out and getting all the shavings out of it. TB has MASSIVE corrosion and has a loud whistle

I went with PPI for porting/coating my exhaust manifold, 10.5 hotside, and 02 housing. I'll post a thorough review in the next couple days. It went pretty well for the most part.
