Having trouble with the Copper fitting on my 2006 FX35. Tony at Motordyne said the 350z and G35 Copper plenum spacer fits on my car, yet I can not get the Copper to fit in with the gasket along with the throttle body and the upper plenum. For some reason I just cannot get the Copper to fit in with the throttle body. Any help would be great thanks!

I remember there was an issue I ran into with throttle body when installing 1/2" ISO thermal way back in 2006. I want to say I had to bend a small fitting for the hose, but not 100% sure. Can't really look it up, as that engine blew up and is long gone....
 
I have it on my old FX35.

I am debating getting this mod as well, just not sure if it's worth it. It's hard to find a good objective review of this, most of them are ITS BEST BRO!!! (you know what I mean). Are the claims on their website accurate, and are there any before and after dyno pulls done by someone that doesn't work for the company?
 
Well, I can say with a spacer my throttle response is much better. That's for sure. As for sound, my friend told me it change slightly. Maybe I am use to my catback and never noticed the differences. As for gas mileage I still have to see after a tank or two. I am wondering if I should just take it to a shop install it. I believe you do not have to bend the hose yet.... Until you put it back to the car. The instructions told me to take out the plenum and I did. The fitment seem fine until the another hose blocks it from going it. Currently, I just have the spacer on. However, I do have the 5/16 ISO thermal compared to a 1/2.
