Default would a skunk2 intake manifold help my turbo performance?

would it be a good 200 dollar choice to put a skunk2 intake mani on my b16 thats awaiting the turbo? also what size of throttle body should i use if i get it?

dont waste your money. your b16 manifold is good enough. only reason why many people get skunk2 manifold is to get rid of b18c dual butterfly intake

uhhh no

I got mine when i was N/A and it made a little bit of a differance. I went turbo and it felt nice but when you get a bigger t/b you will notice a big differance up top get the skunk and a bigger t/b and you will be happy.

I heard the Edelbrock one was alot better for turbo applications. It also doesnt have as many of the fitment problems the skunk2 one has(also from what i have heard) They also make a TB that will match up with the manifold.

I've never had any fitment problems using skunk2 intake mani's on any of my motors. JG will definitly make more power though.
