if you mean to turbo a vehicle with an idividual throttle body setup, then yes it is possible.

the only hard part would be the one charge pipe, and even then im not sure because ive never seen it done. i was actually think of this the other day by the way.

As long as its in a sealed box of sorts for charge piping it works.

If memory serves me *it never does* I think the R34 skyline of some high trim had ITBs stock and still F/I.

In theory yes it can be done but it would be a waste of money. The biggest difference would have to be the velocity stacks the ITB's give but many aftermarket intake mani's have velocity stacks in them with a horn just like a ITB.

Full-race just released there new intake manifold so you can see what I'm talking about.

i have seen it done and it yeilded quite impressive results. the manifold pictured is similar to how it would end up (of course those velocity stacks would direct air to the itbs. i say go for it like the turbo gsr did... its diffrent and i like the idea

couldn't you also just use a charge pipe and use silicone couplers that are T's? Run the one charge pipe from the intercoolers cold side up to that. You would then have it T off on each intake runner and then just enter into the last one. Hopefully I explained that well enough for somebody to comprehend what im thinking. lol

yes it has been done before in the aftermarket and from the factory. You will need to build a plenum to sorround the itb "horns".

this is incorrect. the velocity stack simply allows air to "roll" instead of "tumble" from the plenum to the runner. although it does help this addition isnt the biggest difference in an itb setup.

Yep i concur, like one other major diference, you have Idividual throttle plate for each cylinder, So you have alot better air flow and alot less disatance it has to travel befor reaching the cylinder. Remeber you have 4 throttle bodies that are about 40-42mm each you do the math, then subtract that from the stock 59mm. you have easier air flow, with the air moving less, so basically you have a 160+mm opening but the engine doesnt have to work super hard to use it. as we all know to big can be bad, because the engine cant pull it all in, at that point you lose power. not like With ITB's

heres old setup for a lsvtec turbo ITB integra my buddy built back in 1995.

for the money it would be better to pour money into other things. brakes, suspension, engine internals, engine management and tuning.
