Default skunk2 intake manifold

I just say the skunk2 intake on sale at jdmhondaparts.com - first off, will there be any issues fitting this on a b17a? I've got an f-max turbo and am rebuilding the motor right now (resleeving to 84.5mm by golden eagle). I plan on cramming a lot of air into this engine, would this be a worthwhile investment? I believe it is $310 shipped.

Brian.
don't get the ITR intake if you have a GSR. It will have to be modified.
Get the Skunk2. Its an easy bolt on and fits perfectly.
Very nice when you go to turbo. Do yourself a favor and get the hondata manifold gasket and do it when you swap you manifold. I never knew about the insulating gasket and now I'm in no mood to take it off to put that gasket in.

Yeah right on! Get the Hondata IM Gasket. Also, I would just stck with the Skunk2 Manifold, I belive it has slightly larger runners.

i understand why you would need to swap the gasket out but why the hondata IM gasket and not an oem one?

I already have the hondata gasket, got it several months ago when I put in the hondata but I never felt like installing it. I've had the f-max turbo on for about two weeks, but pulled the engine out over the weekend to send it out for resleeving. Regardless of which manifold I get (if any), should I replace the throttle body at the same time?
