[bigcalturbo]

speak to sybez on ssc as he had a throttlebodied supercharged 106 gti, doesnt give good enough gains to justify the cost though. or speak to GMC.

with tb's and s/c or t/c its more throttle response that wil be improved. turbo cars have a very lazy power delivery thats why some people (race cars) use boddies and boost.

most hyabusa turbo's and s/c bike engined cars use their o/e throttle boddies, a custom penum is made and air fed into that.
sybez had issues that i belived could of been resolved with a bitof fine tweeking and he just lost intrest in his build so those tweeks never happened.

its easy enough to make a custom plenum if you have the tools and can tig weld. getting a perfect desighn would be hard but a copied plenum would be good enough. i.e copy a design off the big power cossies and evo's they have a "swedish plenum" design wich is easy and simple to make.

or use a pulsar plenum modified? as they have bodies and turbo standard.
