Same here. Which means I can't install any aftermarket intake manifold right now on my car (CS, CP-E, Damond). I actually chose to use my one "not ready" on my catless DP although my catalyst monitor still shows "ready" (despite p0420 being unchecked) so some day I might see if I have the balls to do an EGR delete and see if I can pass.
I spy with my little eye 4 taps filled with brass plugs - 1 in each runner. Those wouldn't happen to be already tapped for methanol nozzles, would they? Or are they for PI? Being tapped/filled with brass fittings, I'm guessing for methanol?? (aren't PI ports smooth-bore?)
I want to know more about this heat shield. What it is all made out of? how much does it cover? why have you never mentioned it before? and how can I get one?
