I wouldn't say 1st but one of many. Wasibi sells the DIY kit to make that manifold. What TB did you use? I'm not sure on which 1 I'm going to run yet. I keep going back to the Q45 because it's flows alot. Then I say it's only 2.0 and the head isn't that high flowing. what to do. BTW what throttle cable are you running?

I can't tell from the pics.... but how did you mount the AAC? I can't tell what you did with all those tubes and hoses that used to be on top of the motor. In one pic, there is something with what looks like a solonoid, one hose, and two other things... How does that work?

It looks georgeous!!! Way to go.

Just keep the boost under 11psi and you should be cool. The walbro pushes alot of fuel. Where did you get the intake manifold gasket??

Question for you guys running Q45 TB's...

Does the Q45 TB have a channel for the cruise control cable that would work with the S13/S14 cruise system?

yeah we were going to do that, but now that we have a guy at the dealership, and we can get the gasket at a resable time, we are just going to do that.

Do you have any information on this DIY kit? Perhaps a link. I like the cast polished plenum. BTW, that manifold should only take ~5-10 hrs of work from my experience. However, getting your hands dirty is the best way to become a better fabricator. Looks good
