Sorry I have not updated. It has been in the car over a week and it is running flawless. No codes etc.... What is amazing to me is that the 987 air filter has to have at least 2 to 3 times more surface area. The thing is huge. It was a bit of a pain in the butt to get the piping to fit the way I wanted. Like you know I don't have a typical 2.7 or 3.2 so my plenum sits differently. I was able to cut up the IPD silicone pipe I had and use that with some t-bolt clamps and got it all to work with the BMW mass air housing I am running. Using a beemer one because it was cheaper than a cayman one and I didn't need the mass air sensor itself that comes with it. I have yet to put my wide band back in but I may do it this week. I will let you know if it is running any differently. I can assure you thought that it is running real strong. Schoir can vouch for that.

Let me know if you have any questions.
