I pulled a head today to make a video...

Cool! You should pull the N/A intake manifolds and Throttle bodies too. Heck you could build a package and compete with these guys!

Yeah, if it's going to go onto a turbo, you want the '95 or later N/A manifold.

Thanks Volvo, early '94's late '94's, early this late that. Baaa!
So, to increase intake flow, get a NA intake manifold without the baffle and get the NA throttle body and a 960 throttle plate. When you do this, you will need a custom intake turbo tube and custom intake throttle body linkage. It would also be good to get the plastic intake spacer. This is why I stay in the right lane.

"The 960 plate does not have the puck on it, N/A does. The puck helps with initial low throttle response, meaning it helps with the transition of the sharp open/close of the plate. It really does not affect the air flow since it is not any larger than the TB shaft. Most people go for the 960 plate, I have both and use the N/A."

From boxpin's post #7 of that thread:

That's what the videos are for.
Other than that @ GDog, I did understand about the throttle body plates, just didn't know people were modding T5's with NA throttle bodies. I thought they were using the plates on NA cars. Again, I am so slow I might just pull into the shoulder. I did know the 960 plates had no puck, I've owned several 960's.
@ Vmax, I'm pretty sure they get the low end torque from the NA cam swap (with timing adjustments).
From what I have learned the NA cams, with the adjustment of the torque curve, add to every other mod you do. Most mods adds HP, a little here, a little there. The NA cams may add 10% efficiency across the board. So, add a bigger turbo you may get another 28 HP, with the NA cams it will perform like you added 31. Adjust boost to 16 PSI with the NA cams it acts like you adjusted to 17.5 PSI.
I'm seriously thinking about testing DYNO or at least 1/4 mile times on every mod I do. My ScanGauge II can do 1/4 mile times for me. So at a minimum I will do that.
