alot, a, you would have to custom make your catchment, im sure there is a 106 just been done with it, and a turbo, and it wasnt worth the hassle from what was said

Who is having it done Jaf?

Its like anything else, if youw ant to do it, you can.
But for ease and gains, the uprated manifold from Dave Burwash seems to work well.
Speak to Gaz, who runs one. its also cheaper in the long run, as there is no off the shelf kits for the EP

what little gains to be had aren't worth it in my opinion.

Charge robbing is more of a N/A thing with lairy cams. I don't think the starlet cams are lairy and it's getting air rammed down it so I would imagine it wouldn't make it worth the spend. Better of spending the coin on a big turbo in my opinion.

Although a puler has that setup iirc.

Well if you look at the rb26 that has ITB's

The 4age 20v has itb's which give it most of it's power (I say this because 4age 16v's with itb get similarish power), If turbo'd at about 8 psi you see 210bhp so imho it is worthwhile if you can get it done without costing too much like a d.i.y type mod.

People with megasquirt would be able to do ti with bike throttle bodies and use the tpe from the bike as well so no no need to mate the crappy stock one.

Would be interesting to see, but for what its worth im sure youd get better results spending time and money elsewhere... ITB do sounds the dogs B#llocks though!

If you are serious about it, here's a really good link: http://extrudabody.com/. They are in the US though. Keep in mind that ITBs should be the last induction related mod done to your motor as TB size, horn length and taper should be tailored to suit your powerband.

I wouldnt say a 16v with itbs alone would make the same power as a 20v.

A lad i know is looking to do the same thing with his DC2, but there is a box u can buy to go around the itb especially for turboing.
not worth the wassle imo
