Default bought manifold for 100 bucks

I just bought this manifold for 100 bucks on craigslist. I have a 2009 tc with cold air intake. When I install this part will I have any problems with being n/a. Will I see any real gains?

Most likely will run ____ty. That manifold is good for turbo applications with HIGH boost. I had that before and sold it. Right now i have a stock IM with 27psi of boost with no issues. But i plan on going to 35psi and i need a metal IM because i dont kno if the stock plastic will hold. I shouldve kept my old one but i didn't plan on going this high on boost.

Rob doesn't work for Descendant anymore. Descendant doesn't do Scion nor this intake manifold anymore. Mercedes only.

I don't have sponsors right now which is ok for me. I'm a mechanic and I build motors as a hobby. My last car was a Lancer ralliart and I was pushing 600 out of.it. as a daily driver. I ended up.getting rear ended and totaled my car so with a settlement I'm getting I'm building a powerful tc with all the Money. It's great being debt free and 25 with no mortgage or rent lol

This...no one is really going to buy an IM due to the stock one being able to support 600+whp.

Since the stock intake manifold is plastic I see it cracking before you reach 600 whp.
