It turns out the stock intake manifold is pretty good, so it seems most shops are deciding it isn't worth it to develop a new one. Sure, there are small gains to be had, but I don't think they're worth the predicted cost.

Damn, that really sucks. Im wondering if the FA20 is pretty maxed out or it just needs more time for R&D

Grind down the oil filter ring? Does it clear it or still hit?

Once the turbo is clocked the way it should it will have a small gap

NA results please.
Would be nice to have a dyno comparison of stock vs powerblocks vs this manifold.



Keep up the good work

I would also be interested in the sound it would produce (if very noticeable at all)

You'll be wating a long time. The only ones buying this are people going after big power. The 2017 Manifold is 1/2 the cost. It is more of a blend of of the stock intake and this design. The reports people are getting from it in N/A form are tiny gains to top end and a tiny loss to the bottom end. This manifold will only make it worse without boost. If it wasn't I'm sure LJ would have posted a dyno or something by now as that would have been a huge selling point.

Get BPB if you want manifold work. I have them, doesn't add a lot to the peak, but adds to the midrange and shifts the powerband left, giving you power earlier and reduces the torque dip a little. Because of the powerband shifting left, you won't make much power around 7k, but you'll get it around 6.5k instead.
