The instructions that come with this intake are complete rubbish and if i'm aloud to say, I think they are made over seas. Don't be intimidated by the 50+ steps w/pictures in the installation guide, you will find out (probably while scratching your head for 10 minutes) that 2 pages are only for the 335 while 2 pages are only for the 135.

Problems I ran into:

Mounting the power steering bracket was a PITA, that manual doesn't really show you where to drill the hole so it's kind of a guessing game. I ended up trimming some plastic near the hole I drilled to get it to work. Once that was done it was smooth sailing.

with jb3 in default map 3 it sounded pretty cool. Nice whirl from the turbos at around 3k RPM. I put it in map4 (lagfix) and it sounds really bad ass. Can hear those turbos just about 1k RPM.

I can't say I notice a power difference but I wasn't expecting to. I will post dyno results (stock w/intake, map4, map6) tuesday evening.
wait, you have to drill a hole in something to install this?
