Just an FYI for some of you out there
This give power yes
but
it also gives some erratic idling sometimes, dependent on how hard you push it
normal driving its fine,but you do feel more lerching when your on and off the gas peddle in lower gears
so it might not be for all
my advice

my advice
- for more peace of mind get 80mm tb ( no sacrifice)
- for the power hungry get the 82mm, what you sacrifice in comfort you gain in performance. Also its a lot more headache to get done right (porting fitting Y pipe etc)

All I wanted was more HP, and the headers and TB combined has done that for me. No more sluggish top end pulls.

I haven't noticed any issues with my shifting. Its just as smooth as it was before the 82mm TB was installed. Personally, the setup I have now is golden. Thanks to Brooke (Exotic_Metal55) I didn't have to port the Y-pipe, he had already machined the Carbon Fiber Air box to fit his TB, which has worked perfectly for me.

Its not just the Y pipe that needs to be done, u need to port the intake also to make it fit right

I 'll keep in mind your point, at least with the evidence available to date.

PCV = Positive Crankcase Ventilation. The filter is releasing gases from the crankcase into the atmosphere. The filter traps some of the oil so it doesnot get released into the atmosphere.
