T2 intake conversion
Cost is $800AUD and bolts onto lower intake. Throttle is a 65mm single throttle arrangement.

Very, very nice indeed. That piping is also superb. Power steering and the battery still there, fantastic. If not custom, what brand? thx
Is that $800 Aussie for the UIM alone? What kind of TB is that?
Cheers

All custom! Australia has little if any 'bolt on' kits for anything but current/recent model imports because the prices are so damn high!
Nope, $800AUD is for UIM and throttle as well. Throttle body is from an Australian XF Ford Falcon

and lets not forget those outragous accents.
i would think that the throttle body would be a little small for a good turbo and healthy port. However it would make more feasible a cold air box for a N/A set up.

Runners look to be a bit shorter than stock, but can't be 100% sure.
The throttle calbe will need to be modified because the throttle itself is a fair distance from the original placement.
This design would be good for 500hp+ no worries.

It looks good. It should work very similar to the stock manifolds I modify. I cut the factory plenums in half, hog them out to one large single plane plenum and then weld them back together. I also change to a single plate Mustang throttlebody. My runners stay the same length though while those appear a couple inches shorter. Mine have all worked fantastic and I have seen no ill driving effects.
Was that a stock manifold cut up to accept a new plenum? It kind of looks like it. Good work regardless.
