Yes, Hemifever... I run premium and the third (hi octane) tune.
It has more get up and go, but if you keep your foot out of it and drive sedately, the mpg is good.

If you plenum is really bad, you will actually have MORE low-end with the Air-Gap, than you do with your bad stock intake. Not as much as when it was new, but, more than you have now.

It's a pretty standard failure. The truly rare birds are the ones that HAVEN'T failed.

It's an aluminum intake and a steel pan. Welding wouldn't be a good idea with that. You can try to weld an aluminum plate, but bolting up a new aluminum plate is probably best.
