Title: Pre-Production Upper Intake Manifold???
Post by: 90TGP on December 28, 2003, 06:52:48 PM
Does anyone know if it's possible to get a hold of a pre-production upper intake manifold? It's the one where the word Intercooled is seperate from Turbo. Be kind of cool to have.[/list]

I was looking at my TGP model from Revell. The model has the pre-production manifold. Kinda neat.

I'm with you, I'd love to have one of those.   I can't even imagine what the chances are of actually finding one are though.  I think you would have better luck winning one of those multi-state lotteries.

That looks pretty cool!  I wonder if any were ever made.  It might be possible to have a shop carve one from a regular 3.1 plenum.

what plenum did the TGP that competed at Pike's Peak have? I remember it looking different..but it might have not had the black around the 3.1 MPFI stamping...

It had a plain N/A plenum, with the letters black and the rest plain.
