I have a question...why in the hell you tell us about this now?! This is some good deal, much cheaper than RPW, give me some more information buddy and I might be doing some business with you. A dyno graph with a torque curve would be very helpful also some reviews. High compression pistons + twin throttle body = some nice torque, am I right

Are the injectors really necessary? Or would a piggyback and FPR be sufficient to adjust the fuel?

for the twins on a 2.0 the 240cc injectors can handle it, safc would be used to fine tune them. You dont need a fpr but it wouldnt hurt. But if you needed more juice I have mivec 275cc injectors on hand as well.

Cool, once I will receive my wideband gauge I will take a look at the dyno chart and make a decision. Advertise your product a little bit, come on

See crypto, you should make this your first mod. Fairly inexpensive and keep a great gas mileage. Just my thought tough

Hey prench, what about cruise control? Is it still going to be working or no? And any problems you have encounter, like rough idle, coolant leak?

I don't condone the use of a front mount air intake, or "interfooler" but i think it would be pretty sick to run those intake tubes down both sides into the front bumber and run an intercooler of some kind of front mount air induction.

yes if you wanted to I could build a twin tb set that could retain cruise control, its especially easy since the computer adjusts the tb according to the speed. As for air leaks, I have yet to have a problem. There was one customer who bought the first set that ended up dropping them on the ground and cracked the welds so he experienced some rough idiling till he got it fixed but thats it.

Also you can easily switch from using one tb or both buy just taking off one bolt.
As for coolant leaks, Id suggest doing the coolant bypass, but you can also leave the coolant connected to the tb if youd likd itll still be operatable.

its a sweet mod, i may just save my pennies though. We shall see, $400 is still quite pricey on my budget.
Mid next year i am gonna start doing serious work on my car (after i finnally marry me girlfriend. lol)

That may be one of my first mods though.

Prench, you should get yourself set up as a vendor, given these kind of prices and all the options you have I think you could do pretty well with the evom folks. I'll definitely look into these products when I get back in the country next month.
