BTW, powder-based rods are classified as "forged" for all intents and purposes, due to the process involved.

while that might be true, they shatter like glass under detonation. trust me...

GTM is making their own version of the GTR Intake... There is a LOT of work involved in making this fit perfectly. Be patient... if you think you have it hard you have NO IDEA! this is my baby and I saw it a couple weeks ago for the magazine shoot and now I get to hang around the car for a whole week and cant even start her up!!!!

Just to clarify, are you referring to the lower intake manifold? I just want to make sure nothing has changed from the prototype photos released recently, and that we will still be able to use the existing VR38 upper intake collector.

I am uncertain whether it is the upper or lower intake manifold. However, I believe along with you that it will most likely be the lower intake manifold.

dont worry your investment was well spent!

Do you personally think that there will be a benefit to this intake manifold for the N/A guys? I know that the most improvement to be had is in the lower intake manifold from the looks of it, it would be my next big mod if it helped out the N/A setups too!
