Thumbs up TBSS manifold on the way :}

Picked up one for a really good deal.. For now it will work just fine.. Considering the last few dyno charts I have seen have shown atleast a sold 15hp increase the entire rpm range, seems to be a good mod for cheap.. Hope it responds better to boost.. Plans so far are to possibly run after market rails on it, I am going to smooth the intake out, paint it black on the top, to finish it off with a clean look.. Might reroute some wiring also.. I had good intentions of going with a vic jr or pro flow, but for the cost it was going to be( new injectors, new fuel lines-fittings, new TB, Dr X link I could not justify it for 30 hp when this will get me close to them numbers for less then half. It would put me into the 900$ range.. So for now this should work well.. Hope it does..

I might be asking you a few questions here in there if i run into a snag. What did you get to extend the harness for the MAP sensor. Did you use the one you had or the newer one thagt comes in that intake?? Thanks, I will prob have more once it gets here.. Other then the TB, was it a breeze going on???

My buddy's dad owns a/c shop and found it lying around.

I knocked the stock bolt out cover & weld it to bracket & grinded off head so I wouldnt be rubbing on map sensor. Wasn't sure on where the other hole needed to be so I notched it.

I think it sits a little higher the stock, but most of does it have a chip guys can't tell anyway.

They got enough slack in stock harness for map sensor. Only Problem I had was my 42#injectors were to short for rails I had.

Rails that came with intake. I had to cut taps off that held rails to intake.. Pretty simple I just had to think about it for awhile
