I haven't seen any black metal ones.

I had the same issue, my 36's took forever to arive, while some 35's they had in stock. FYI virtually all distributors of MAC parts will take 4-5 weeks; none are stocked unless an order was cancelled. FYI2 the 35 flows half as much as the 36; you'll need a bit more duty cycle if your tuner is used to the 36/real AEM.

Its too bad I didn't see this earlier, I still have two 36's with 96" long 'flying leads'.

haha..damnit.. lol..oh well i got mine for cheap, it will suffice.

i also received some spacers and new seals for the 1000s. under boost i guess the o-rings that came on the injectors were having issues.

thanks for the information!

work has been very slow, inhibiting me to being able to finish this project.. sucks. but oh well. home and bills first, play later.

The issue we were seeing is with cars that have had aftermarket injectors crammed in the factory lower cushions and they didn't fit very tight against the injector anymore.

We're including some new pieces with the s2000 injector sets to make for a better seal.

Anyone who didn't receive the updated pieces and feels they need them, shoot me an email and we'll get some out to you.

Ready to see this thing run!
