I am looking at buying an intake manifold and a Boomba Racing 75mm throttle body but want to see if anyone has real world numbers for these. I do plan on going to a larger turbo but not until my warranty is finished.

Current modifications are:
- Harmon Motive intake
- UICP/LICP
- AGP Intercooler
- Test pipe
- Perrin Catback
- Perrin EBCS (not installed yet, waiting for tune)

*will be getting Cobb in Texas to custom tune all of this

A few of the intakes I have been looking at are;

MAPerformance Rev 3 intake - Which has nice even flow between all 4 runners which I can imagine makes tuning easier and must be good for a few extra ponies, and a price of $650 is not too bad.

Blitz Manifold - Larger capacity then the OEM (apparently double the stock one) but the price tag hurts at bit at $1,800

Boomba Racing - Stock ported manifold, but comes with the larger throttle body opening which excepts their 75mm throttle body which is the one I am looking at going with but also comes in at $1,000

Anyway let me know if any of these manifolds are worth going with while I am still on the stock turbo, as I am pushing for the most power I can while I have warranty, as well as easy parts to take off if needed for warranty purposes (which is why I don’t have a downpipe)

 

Looking to find out some info on that also. i have a 2.3l sitting in my garage ready to go.. but stock intake manifold and throttle body.. and nothing else to upgrade except turbo and these two things...

trying to stay stock turbo...

 

Cosworth has a manifold out to

 

Also interested to see some graphs of
Stock manifold vs ported manifold....anyone have a graph they like to share...not sure if the stock 9 turbo benefits from a tb and manifold upgrades...

 

I was going to get mine ported but it doesnt seem to be something alot of people are posting gains about.

 

You're warranty is already finished, might as well go with the larger turbo now.

 

I'm guessing an intake manifold and throttle body will show little gains on the stock turbo. The stock turbo just doesn't flow enough to really make use of the greater flow potential of the mani and throttle body.

IMO, it'd be a poor hp/$ investment.

 

No they still haven't released it

+1 buy a Green or Red with 800cc or 1000cc injectors and get more out of it. Plus you can recoup part of the $ buy selling your stock turbo.

 

OR...........if you don't mind the downtime, just get your stock converted to an FP Red/Green. You get a 600 dollar credit which is a lot more than what you'll get by selling your stocker.

 

/\ that is good advice.

 

MAP's Rev3 is a great manifold, I had one on my IX. They should be able to modify it to fit any throttle body you choose (stock, ported stock, or Boomba). The 75mm Boomba is overkill for the stock turbo IMO, I'd probably opt for the Boomba 64mm ported stock instead.

MAP has a dyno chart and flow data for the Rev3 posted on their website:

Thank you sir
