Exactly. You can add a switch or you can make an adapter to fit the stock TPS.

^ Which shouldn't be an issue to do as there are already walkthroughs on here on how to make it, and make it work right

I think Arz' idea is to make something "bolt on".
I for one would prefere the original TPS.
theres been a few that have put a 2.5/2.75 pipe on the manifold and welded it on like a ffim and then just weld on a block off plate for the original input... im probably going to do this before i buy a real ffim. i HAVE to have everything thats stock...
Arz,
I'm with Grim and a lot of the other guys here. I'd like to keep TPS, ISC, EGR provisions, etc. as well as keeping my A/C and Cruise. I also would buy a manifold even if it wasn't the most attractive as long as form followed function. As long as it works well, I don't care how it looks. It just needs to do it's job. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Waiting for my bonus for some of your sweet brakes!!!

Kind of off topic question but dose the plastic round (check valve ???) thing with the "fins" on one side that sits in, around the IAC need to be used?

I will only buy it if it IS the most attractive.

OOOOOO.... I see Ummmmmmmmmmm.... The FFIM I bought from tubbie only has the one hole for it (stamped out of it on the bottom) and no funnel like shape to it like the OEM on has. I can not find a pic of the bottom but here is a pic from the top to give you a idea what i am talking about.
Any Ideas on how to fix this??? cut the old upper intake manifold apart and some how get it welded to the now one.
I was using a manifold made by a member on here, it used a 1UZ tb from a Lexus. It had provision for isc, no csi, had to relocate the alternator, no provision for a/c, used the stock tps. If a manifold could be made plug and play while using all the factory sensors, cruise, retain a/c, maybe just with battery relocation, that would be the shit! Of course a different i/c with opposing in/outs would have to be incorporated...hope to see a new product, I personally like the way a ffim cleans up the stock plumbing over the engine.
There is absolutely no problem in doing that. I know someone with a short runner and working a/c and cruise control.

Keeping in mind it Arz, I don't think he has ever made anything that didn't look outstanding. That's why I'm not too worried about how it is going to look.

I know. I have a set of his valve covers on my desk just waiting for a FFIM to match...
It sounds to me like a manifold that maintains all stock provisions with only having to relocate the battery is a winning plan. I would absolutely buy that. I will keep my eyes peeled for this to be finalized.
negatron, no moving of the battery for me
I don't want to run the lines, have a good sealed box, vent it to the outside, and have a kill switch installed to pass tech at a track.

I'm with Poodles, i'm dying for a shortrunner FFIM with cold start, egr, etc as well as the stock battery location. Alternator relocation is perfectly fine for me.
