Not yet, I'll let you guys know tommorow it everything goes as planned.

I just finished taking out my intake manifold, took about 3 hours, kind tough, a lot of hard bolts to get, but tommorow I am getting my KMS Intake Manifold and I'll let everyone know what difference it makes, stay tuned!

I think the initial limited run was all they were doing? He's probably buying it off one of the members who bought it and decided it was useless (which for N/A it more or less was) hopefully it can find some FI use...

the wait is killing me. I have been waiting for someone to test this manifold out on a turbo car for about a year. I want to get one too cause I dont trust the plastic manifold at 16psi. I am in the process of building a second motor to handle 16psi daily and 20at the track. Just waiting on the jury to come back on the KMS manifold.

I think dezod is r&d on a IM for a d17s. Maybe you can wait or PM him about about it.

As long as his IM is top mounted TB I might wait but if not then KMS it will have to be.

its not hard to change to a side mount TB guys. extend a few wires, cut your intake or charge pipe a lil short, spin it down and it should pop right on. If you need to, you can buy a 15 or 45 degree coupler or something to make it go. I have made a few manifolds for our cars but I dont have the time to make any right now. Plus mine are more money than KMS just for the shear fact that they actually kick ***. I pmed dezod to let him know id help him with his manifold but he didnt pm me back, I could speed up someones progress if they wanted to have someone make one. Be prepared for a machine shop to rape you on setup fees though. You can check out the N/A one that I made at www.JDMFabtech.com The boost ones I made use a lil bigger plenum and shorter runners. Everything was CNCed to perfection.

The way my charge pipe comes up and in on the driver side makes it impossible to have a side mounted TB. I dont want to have to redesign my entire setup. Plus I never liked the one sided intercoolers. Mine is straight through flow. I want to keep it that way.
