What did it run you? Did the cost and time to install outweigh the cost of having the valves cleaned at 60k? Do you plan on keeping the car long term 100k+?
I initially bought the EU manifold to use it with the PR MPI kit which is not entirely off the table, but ended up getting the whole thing together already assembled at $200+ so I might run with that instead. E85 or not.
If possible, I am planning to do the install myself which all in all should make it a fairly cheap project. Problem is I am APR tuned and they turned down the ROW file flash so the software change is going to set me back some (should have gone UM 3 years ago like I had initially planned to)
vs the cost of cleaning the valves. The software change puts me upside down in that regard. Without it would have been nice. Still might do it.
Carbon wise. We'll find out how bad they are once I take off the original manifold. I've run good oil, used a catch can since 500 miles and changed the PCV. I expect there to be some regardless, but we'll see just how improved these systems are vs MK6 days.
