:D I had mine done when I got my turbo kit from Robert... Totally worth it... I think richard only has the APS deletes, which IMHO are WAY too over priced and can have close to the same effect for 1/2 the price.

Go to Robert @ FAT... he won't do you wrong... He is the only other besides Richard that I will let touch my car.

You can also get the JDM V8 manifold which doesn't have them.
IAperformance usually has them, they're like ~$350 I think

I'll make a call and find out... I think it was in the 300-350 range.

I tried to do a bunch while you were gone, so I would have some lag time to work with. :)

I've talked to Rich about this previously, and for removing the TGV butterflies, and grinding the housing out is a flat fee of $150. They leave the actuators intact, so it's doesn't throw a CEL. This doesn't include labor to remove and reinstall the intake manifold, though.

I'm looking at a Baja Turbo (gaaaasp!) and I'm thinking about doing this mod when and if I swap all my parts over. A 400hp Baja sounds kinda.... fun.

Robert at Forced Air Technology will do it for $225 that includes EVERYTHING. Just an option.

It makes all of your mods more responsive too. Excellent Mod to do.

yeah rich is going to be doing mine here as soon as the heat settles a little...he said $250 for everything to be ported/polished. he thinks my setup should yield a good 8whp or more of tq from this, on top of better spool.
