Default BLOX cast manifold on B16 in EG? Do you have to trim or no?

Read a few threads from people saying that they had to trim the motor or tranny to use this manifold and keep a/c.

Is this true? I was going to pick one up for my kit I am piecing together. Should I get something else?

you have to trim with any cast manifold if you're trying to keep a/c.

you mean the tial wastegate and vtec head? as far as i know you do, need an adapter that is. the b16, b18c1 and b18c5 share the same physical head dimensions

this is what had me buy an inline pro. i figured if i was going to spend $215 on a block plus $50-60 on an adapter for an extra $100 i could have an inline pro
