Message	Everyone asks about this item. everyone says they are making one.I got tired of waiting so I made one over the past few days and was wondering if there was any real interest in this item for the rest of you. There are issues that have to be addressed. number one, the vacuum galleries, what I figure the most logical thing to do is to tap 3 holes in the plenum for the three tees off the stock plenum to screw into, this gives you a place for your essentials (brake booster hoses, boost solenoids, etc)I plan to do this next. the next issue is the fact that since there are no longer mounting points for the coil packs (byebye stock plenum) Its not feasible to let the coil packs just hang out freely, so what I was thinking was to dissasemble the coilpacks and line them up on a board(will look similar to an msd unit) and wire a universal plug wire kit to the engine. The last major thing is the AIC, I honestly have no idea how the engine will run without this. My prototype does not have a place on the back for one but if the AIC is absolutely necessary I am sure I can make a flange for it. as for piping I plan to make a 2 in 1 out fmic + piping specifically for a single throttlebody intake. Here it is, bolts right up to your stock lower, 90mm Throttle body. btw,The hood wont fit without a bulge. Your thoughts are welcome. AIM: TDMGR33N
