				i know they make these for hondas and acuras but what about our cars. since i have decided to stick with N/A on my car these would help out if they made them which im sure they dont but if they do i would for sure get them and show them to everyone

				I've never seen them for sale before, but I have seen a picture of a Legacy that had them.

				if you were able to find them, most likely they would charge $1200-1500+ for a kit. If you can tig and you can get either a kit for another 4 cylinder or take a v6 or v8 setup because the throttle linkage is shared between the banks of cylinders. Its expensive either way, and unless you have the cash and want something unique its not worth the 15-20hp.

				Like I said in the other ITB post WRX TGV's can be modded & turned into ITB's with injector bosses CHEAPLY.
The TGV's bolt right onto Phase II SOHC MAP Subaru motors, MAP sensor can be fed through a barb fitting behind the throttle plate, TPS mount will have to be fabbed.
An adapter plate could probably be made to get TGVs to bot onto a PI motor OR the lower flanges can be cut off & ones with the proper flange pattern can be welded on but the MAF is gonna spoil the open velocity stack fun that the MAP cars can potentially have...

				I saw a picture of a guy that did this, but he used the individual velocity stacks that were produced for the K16? motor that was in the old datsun 510's he just made a cool adapter plate  that went between the head and veloc stacks

				is that what Frankenstien looks like. so you need a turbo to use it. cause i thought of getting this since i wasnt going to a turbo for help

				same principles would apply turbo or not. just put stacks on each oval

				well they way their CAD drawings were laid out. looked like they made all that stuff, But something is telling me that they stoled some of the design. To do something like what they had probably looking at 5k 'ish. With a little ingenuity and patience i bet you could fab something 500 bucks er so.

				I've seen a set of these for the past few years at Cobb.  They've never used them.  Maybe I should ask if they want to sell them...
