My 2018 is a long wheelbase, heavy (6000#+ with all my junk) and its a company truck used for frequent of towing. That adds up to just wanting a tune for it to clean up the crappy shifting. The added high rpm power isn’t suited to it imo. My 2016 was a spare truck and is my wife’s winter daily driver, so those parts have no place when it’s -30 out! I would recommend to anyone who does this mani, get the IMRC pigtails now that the wiring is figured out.

The 2016 will stay tuned until the X4 sells though.

Good deal for whoever wants it, $850 CAD for all 3.

Sold with the controller bottle and plate as part of the kit. A heater is absolutely ESSENTIAL for proper nitrous function. Gotta get one.

Absolutely true, and its surprising how many people don't use them. Consistent bottle temp. is required to maintain consistent mixture.

If swapping to an 18’ gt manifold, do I need to use a lockout kit? I have an 18’ f150 and did a swap but now I’m getting p0300 codes

No. You need to drill a hole in the back for the MAP sensor that you moved from your stock manifold, mount it, and you can plug the IMRC's right in, harness is the same.
That's multiple cylinder misfire, you missed something for sure.

yeah we tapped the map sensor to the back and reconnected everything. It feels as if it drives fine but it throws that code. I need to look over everything again.
