Re: OBX or SKUNK2 (Got Snail 2)
I just tore my intake manifold off about 20 minutes ago. The only wire I recall was the tps sensor that unplugged from the throttle body. Should mount up and plug right into the new one. Another post on here I just saw explains the hose connections as they are different than stock although one of them apparently is not used on the skunk2 throttle body so you can loop it or something like that?

So your saying the only sensor on the intake manifold is the TPS, which infact is on the throttle body, which also includes a MAP and IAC, then on the Intake manifold is the IAT. Who was the one that pulled off the intake manifold?
Plus OBX is teh gay.

I myself currently use a s2 pro manifold but you have the think about the parts you are talking about.
If it were cams, I would stay wiht S2 over OBX anyday of the week but this is an intake manifold, not a set of cams or whatever. If the S2 is out of your price range, get the OBX. I have seen a few of them here and there and they made decent power over stock in turbo applications.
Don't forget blox and AEBS also though if you want to steer away from OBX because of the reputation and yes, they are all plug and play.

Re: (Jay_Sensing)
Hey a blox or an edlebrock.
Or oem.
If you don't have many mods or boost, then the skunk2 might just move some of your power, and not increase it across te whole band.
The edlebrock is a good piece though, If I was getting a new intake mani I'd fork out the extra for the edelbrock, And I'm a cheap S.o.b.
