This is awesome in it's presence - truly impressive. I'll probably sand the P/C off the raised lettering or possibly have the whole thing media-blasted. The big problem right now is trying to source a transition from an 82mm (3") throttle body to a 60mm connection somewhere on the cold side of my FMIC, which has to include a DV relo takeoff. You can see the challenge in this pic of the forge extrude-honed manifold it'll take the place of. No one seems to make the right transition; Hose Techniques does have an 80-63 by 3" long I'll get in the meantime and try to have the 60mm transition coupler flared a few mm (the other mfgr's only go to 76mm from 60mm) - but ultimately I'll end up having something made.
Btw, APR shipped this out fast - seems like I bought it on late on a Wednesday and got it the next Tuesday - & thanks also very much to Greg @ APR!
