Big Bore Intake

i got mine off the tex, you can find them on ebay pretty cheap also.
the bigger throttle body won't make a difference in fitment, just get one for CIS.
mine fits fine with my T-body.

i wouldn't worry about the big bore intake, you won't see any gains from it, it's just a piece to look cool, and keep you from passing smog (at least in california)

(i have one in my Jetta)

Gains depend entirely on the amount of modification your engine has. If you're stock, no there is no gain to be had really as the engine isn't bringing in enough air to tax the system except maybe at the very top end where you might notice a few more MPH with the big bore. With a modified engine, it is not only going to give gains, it is pretty much a necessity. My engine was being restricted quite a bit by the crappy plastic intake and I already notice a diff just in the way it idles....it actually smoothed things out a bit. My engine requires a lot of air once it gets revving and I can say with certainty that the stock intake system is far less than adequate. I am willing to bet that my top end will increase noticeably this year.

Yeh...I think it looks cool too. And with the mods I'm doing I think is just gonna help maybe a bit. I have a MK2 TB with a bored intake mani coming all the way from Vancouver. Header is coming tomorrow and exhaust is coming monday. I have a 270* camshaft and adj cam gear already installed....

i disagree, my motor is not stock and there were no noticeable gains when i got mine

what exactly does "not stock" entail? A couple mild mods are not going to show any gains for sure. A turboed motor or bored and stroked motor will definitely respond to ANY breathing mods.
