Default Debating on intake manifold

I have a B18C with a lsd tranny, Pretty much stock. Tempted to put on the jg edelbrock intake manifold (I have just laying in my garage). Somewhere down the road, my plans are to go turbo.

Should I hold off on putting the IM on or slap it on now. Biggest concern for me is, maybe I will loose a lil bit of the low-end power. Your opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Wait til you're boosted, most IM are made to handle huge volumes of air and if you're still N/A you won't benefit from it.

Thats kind of what I was looking for. Maybe I will just slap on my oversized throttle body. Anybody know if there is a DIY for portmatching the throttle body.

the JG intake manifold won't be any real benefit if you're just stock. it's design is around the f/i field. if u put it on, you'll lose a lot of lower end, which i don't think you'll do as of now.

as for throttle body. maxbore does it. i believe it's a 100 with a new throttle plate which is what you'll need. you can taper it to your IM size or to ur intake size.
