I like my new....
This just arrived in the mail for me yesterday:
I got it uncoated so I can give SPC in Arlington a try.
That looks great! I am eyeing their manifolds. SPC does great ceramic black, I have seen several nice pieces over there that Michael did for customers.

MAP's new tubular manifold definitely showed some legit gains on Scheides' BBX, low-end losses were associated with those gains though so I'm thinking a ported/coated stock exhaust manifold may be the way to go for those of us on the stock turbo still.
MY Kracka crankcase valves. I was having an issue with BOV flutter after the install of my intercooler. I double checked my install and did a boost leak check. All was ok, but during partial throttle I was getting massive amounts of flutter. I had ordered the valves (had a set of my evo ix) when I ordered my racing brakes (suck). I threw them on and took the car for a spin. I am getting more vacuum at idle and cruise, and my flutter is completely gone. I will have to see if it helps cut down on the oil in my intake tract.
For those at the dyno day, I had an issue with my catch cans causing excessive oil getting sucked into the intake tract on decel. I have checked that with these valves and the smoke is not present.

I suppose I should post in here as well!
I like my new Stage2 Protune from Cobb! Went from an off the shelf Stage2 tune of 315whp/322wtq @23psi to a Stage2 Protune of 343whp/358wtq @26psi.
