either but i would go with the intake manifold as it is more expensive and still a limited item.

I tend to buy the more expensive things first, makes the next mod seem easier and quicker.

IM first, but unless you're doing some pretty serious work to your car I'd be hesitant to buy either.

Thumbs up

I got the intake on it's way but I already have the T/B,AEM cold air,header,test pipe exaust,grounding kit and when it out the ECU piggy back. Then I'll try turbo or S/C again,and hope I don't blow another eng.

The throttle body will let more air in.
The intake manifold will let the air let in flow better.

Either one will give a gain in it's own right, but I'd go for the manifold because I think it will give more. And with forced induction on top of that, it will only help more.

Although with the stock tb you'll still have restricted airflow right at the beginning. You see where this is headed though. Just get both.

From me talking to Rob, it seemed that the 2 really compliment each other, so get whichever you want first, but get the other asap, as that wil be when you see the true potential of them.
