Yup Damien certainly does have ITB's. He only recently finished the job. I believe he is making 179rwkw. Our cars are similar in terms mods other then his ITB set up......173.4rwkw for me. ITB's seems to be the difference. He has his own web site, where his ITB set up is detailed with pics etc

Yep, I do - heaps of pics of the installation on my site which Andrew posted above. Lots of hassles too but all sorted in the end.

Do you have any photos Mick? Did you retain the lower part of the stock intake manifold or make new ones? Have you seen the setup from NZ using 4AGE TB's?

Running ITB's on an auto won't really give you much advantage, especially with stock cams as they don't breath well enough to make use of the better intake.

For an indication on price you'd be looking at about $2200 for either the ITB's from EFI Hardware which are very similar to mine (but better) and a similar price for the ones from
www.a1turbos.co.nz which use 4AGE throttlebodies.

You'd also need a MAP-ECU piggyback as a minimum to be able to use a MAP sensor and do away with the AFM or preferably a standalone ECU such as an Adaptronic which can use a combination of TPS and MAP to calculate fuel.

If you want to stay NA you'd be better off to get cams and the ECU first, or if you just want outright grunt save up for a supercharger which is much better suited to an auto, plus you can keep the stock ECU.
