I have done a few searches and found a few posts on it, but no one was real definate on the power increases and torque loss. How will removing the IAB plate itself cause as far as power? The thing I am worried about is taking this plate out will shorten the runner length of the H22A manifold. Obviously shorter runners will increase top end HP but removing 1" or so off of the runner length is very drastic in my opinion. I currently run with my IAB open all the time anyways so losing the butterflys is not what concerns me. So anyone have any definate answers on removing the plate all together on a forced induction engine? Anyone got dynos? Also is there any hidden mods that I will have to do besides just removing the plate and slapping it back on?

btw here is my setup that is in build process if this helps....

-stock block H22A
-P28 ECU
-Hondata S200 with boost option
-hondata intake gasket
-Skunks2 cam gears
-AEM fuel rail with AEM FPR
-walbro 255
-Precision SC 44 turbo with .63 AR
-Love fab mini-me manifold
-Tial 38 MM wastegate
-turboXS RFL BOV
-custom 3" downpipe with 3" exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers
-18 x 12 x 3" custom vertical flow intercooler with spearco core
-2" intercooler piping to intercooler, and 2.25" to manifold
-looking to boost 6-9 pounds of boost right now. Looking for 250-280 WHP

thanks.
