Shav, I definitely can't wait... Once I have this, I'm going to install COBB intake, turbo silicon inlet, 3port BCS, dump pipe and tune at the same time! :lol:


Hey Peter where you tuning yours?

Hey Phuong, I've got a private local tuner based in Melbourne. In terms of tuners, you can go TH (Matt) or TP (Eric, E-Tune) from the top of my head.

Mine arrived today. Actually, would have been delivered yesterday, but wasn't home to receive it, so was redelivered today.

Looks great. Will probably install during the weekend.

Not a big issue, but has anyone got the stickers and/or lanyard? There weren't any in the box.

Hmmm... ok. It was a "freebie" anyway, so I'm not that worried.

Actually, just re-read the original post. What's the PCV hose? I got a gasket and the throttle-body hose.
Was it meant to come with another hose?

I never received a pcv hose. Just the TB hose and the rubber gasket ring. That's all that was needed as far as Im aware.

According to Matt, he believes the Mishimoto's flow a bit better than the Perrin TMIC's if that's of any use.

Mine arrived today. Box UNSEALED.

What is the box supposed to have inside?

I got the intercooler, the black and orange hose, a purple Invidia lanyard and a Mishimoto pamphlet.

Mine had:
- Intercooler
- Rubber o-ring for the intercooler to seal
- Black & Orange TB Hose
- Lanyard
- Penguin air freshener
- Mishimoto pamplet/instructions
- Mishimoto stickers

As long as you have the top 3 items minimum, then you should have everything there. Everything else is a bonus.

There is a chance the box had to be inspected for some reason by the authorities.

Should also have a gasket in a small plastic bag. It was "loose" in my box. My box was stapled closed, but not sealed with tape.
I'd ask for a replacement gasket, if you didn't get one, although you could possibly reuse the old one.

Get any stickers?

Thanks shav,
Looks like I'm missing the Rubber o-ring.

No stickers.
Mine was delivered with the flappy lids of the box open. Can see where it was stapled from the holes.
Even the bottom of the box, I can see 2 staples there, but looks like 2 were taken out, so only half of the bottom was sealed.
How do things even get delivered like that? :?

Geez, that's no good.

Mine was fully stapled and taped up neatly. The rubber o-ring was in its plastic bag but under the styrofoam. Not saying you haven't done so already but have you had a good look at all the packaging for the o-ring?
