Anyone think this would work? I'm not very familiar with the N/A throttle body, but it seems that it's in a little better position to work with some FMIC's.

 

I don't think it's the actual TB itself but merely the plastic inlet pipe of the NA TB. I believe it fits the TII and allows for an easier route for IC piping (I don't have an pics but as I recall it's no longer backwards).

 

correct

 

cool.. anyone have pictures of this done on a TurboII, or even just an N/A? I guess I could search for N/A pics, but what about this done on a TurboII?

 

what would that do to the air temp sensor thats in the stock TII elbow?

 

Drill and thread the plastic? Done and done.

 

Hard to keep that rubber part from leaking, especially at higher boost pressures...

Crap, we need to just have someone make a GOOD aftermarket intake for TurboII's.

 

I did this 4 years ago and it works great. As far as the air sensor either tap into the IC tube itself with NPT thread or weld a bung for it... I have a stand alone ecu so it wasn't an issue because I had to weld a bung for the GM sensor anyway.
You will need to ditch the oil filler neck to make this work......well, wait! at least on the 89-91's were they have the long angled neck....The 87-88's might be okay, I don't know forsure though...
I run 18-22psi with a T60-1 turbo and its never cracked either.. Yhe constraction is pretty thick on the elbows....Give it a try...
Ohhhhh ya.... The elbow is a 3.5" so you'll have to get a reducer from www.turbohose.com to accomidate the IC tube... I use 2.5" tubing, so I had to but a 3-3.5" reducer and a 3-2.5" reducer then in between the two reducer stuck a 3" O.D. tub to connect them.....My point????? I don't think anyone makes a 3.5-2.5 reducer... anyway call Hoover @ turbohose

I don't understand. Why don't we just create a proposition to AEM to create a similar version of the Checkpoint intake? Or even a nice TID? We NEED a proper intake available that doesnt cost an absurd amount.

Us, and DSM T/E/L's. They have the same exact issue.
