I dont think theres a stamp on it, however i think you can go by the size of its bore in mm.

The c5's are 62mm and the c1's are 60mm so you do have a itr t/b, and that 62mm in standard is 2.48" but the t/b sizes are most commonly in mm(metric).

Did you take out the bolts from the intake mani support that is under the intake mani? Other than that and the bolts that go on the head studs theres nothing else that holds it on.

Push on the top of the intake manifold were the flat spot is, not too hard but just kinda rock it back and forth, it shouldn't be that stuck on there. Make sure every single nut/bolt is out.

If you have all the vac. lines off too thats all there is too it. They're not all the same to get off either, some will be harder than others. One thing that may help is to: While facing the motor get a piece of wood or something soft and put againt the plenum of the i/m and tap back towards the firewall with it. It should come off it'll take a little more than what others have done.

you're fine, tap it with a rubber mallet. usually it's on there real tight due to excessive carbon build up.
