I assume you're talking about the APV valve bodies....

If you are going back to NA you want them to work correctly...otherwise you will loose a lot of low and midrange power

like i said on the phone,

those are the secondary intake port sleeves, ( the difference between 4 port at and 6port mt) so without those in there you will just have an open 6port, which will result in much less power (torque) before 4300 rpm and about the same power after that. With your manifold already apart and that bar i sent you already going in, please dont leave them out... you will get nothing but a loss.

Thanks man :P

i installed those port sleeves and now im wondering does it matter which way or how i install them. i was looking at the gear part on back side of manifold.

i was installing the cover and noticed a notch and it has to go a certain way. does it matter which way????????? i dont want them not to move or what ever.


i know that mumbo jumbo may not make much sense but not sure what these parts are called thanks in advance
