Ported my TB with the help of a friend.
TB

Installed the RED poly motor mounts. (what a pain to get the old ones out and the brackets installed back on with the new ones). Basically I can say it starts up rough and shuts down rough. And at idle in D feel some vibration, but I think it will make a diff off the line. I would say its like using cement to fill a hole around a post for a fence instead of using just dirt. That is my opinion on the mounts. I also installed the alt rewire, took 5 mins. And I am getting the KYB GR2s this coming week. Hopefully put my new impact wrench kit to use!! And enjoy the new ride. So I will have some 61,550 mi struts forsale soon!

Just regular. Say idle at a light in D you can feel in in the accelerator. Sort of feels like the whole car got stiffer. Can't really feel them while cruising. I was on the highway and felt it some while getting up to speed from the on ramp. Definitely makes the car feel more solid.

Not sure what the offset do. ZZP doesn't have that explained. Another reason I didn't get those.

yea they did

Offset mounts Hold the engine forward, which has a few benefits.

Better oil pickup during drag racing
Removes vibration caused from lowering the car
Better axle alignment for less HP loss through the shafts
Increased weight on the front tires for better launching
Added clearance to sway bar for header and downpipe installs

im bout to pick them up

since you think it makes it stiffer does the shifting improve do you know

Not sure about the shifting, I actually had some issues with the shift lagging last night. But not sure what that was. Ported the TB and was tuning, so I kinda had alot going on.

No, I just did a little cleaning on the plate. I almost screwed it up by ported around the plate, but I just cleaned it up, I am glad I didn't go to far, or I would of messed the fit up. My idle is high, still trying to get it back to normal, get a SES code for High Idle. cleared it and disconnected the battery over night. Worked for a day, but it came back. Hopefully check it out tonight. Worst thing is, after a week, I still have numbness in my index finger and thumb. Already got an offer to do someone elses in a local club, but he needs precision from 65mm to 68mm. May not try that one!! Lol!

If anything I would buy one, but I wanted to keep the stock look, even though my sig is a little aftermarket looking, LOL. But I'll see how I do with this one.
