I think the N/A has a veriable intake track and the throttle body might be smaller.

the gains arent worth all the extra work. in fact, if i remember correctly, there are no gains, as the AICS doesnt function properly under positive manifold pressure.

If you have an na intake, just keep it. Not worth it to change to turbo intake. Same thing if you have a turbo intake.....

But....... :rofl:
Me and a friend dynoed both our supras on the same day. We both have the same exact mods, except I have the NA intake, and he had an eBay intercooler, dynoed about 5 minutes apart. I dynoes 368 and he dynoed 356, both at 18psi...... Just food for thought...

i was just wondering because when i get my new supra i need an intake mani. cuz he said he sold the ffim and i have an na intake mani. but didnt know if i could use it or not.

They are different, and not worth swapping unless you're after the last ounce of power. If you use it on a turbo car it gets in the way of the coil packs.

The active variable tunning of the N/A manifold will work even in turbo application, but the effective range will be pushed lower the more boost you use. It may work wonders to wake up a lazy big turboed car, but otherwise just stick with what you got.
