So would you have to port the IM to even use this, or can you bolt this up to a stock manifold?

U can't port to much from the stock IM since it has a gasket taht won't allow it. But u can get some out of it. I'm talking with the creator of this, to see if there are any news.

It was acutally install on a turbo car. The throttle response is much quicker, but it has not been dynoed.

Hmmm, so I can use this with my existing turbo setup? How difficult would the install be and what would it require? Any plans to dyno?

I'm looking to see if I can buy this kit and the TB and dyno an after installation. Since I already have the dyno for before this, done about 2 months ago, it will be easier to just do the after. What do u think guys?

If your gonna dnyo it needs to be days apart at the most on the same dyno... not two months. Theres lots of variables that will change the data gatherd. IE Humidity tempture and dyno set up.

But if somebody could possibley do a same day dyno? that would be optimal! lets see where this mod goes.

I know that but I thought of doing the dyno the day when I would be tuning. I would use the first 3 dynoes to give u some numbers. I have already done 3 dynos with my car. 1rst one was around August (160.3whp), 2nd one was in November (159.6)whp, and the last one also in November (159.8whp) So I have a a theorical baseline (159.9whp). The numbers are pretty accurate, so I can be safe to say I might notice the change of power. Also I always go to the same dyno, and always do it when there are similar weather conditions, otherwise I can't go to the dyno, cause it,s one hour afar. What do you think?
