So I scrapped my first plenum. It was proving to be a dead end and I didn't plan it out well enough from the start. Started on a 2nd much more simpler design. It is similar to the one someone posted in the thread earlier. The only difference is that I am not going to put the TB all the way down where OEM filter sits. I will find a way to get it to fit near OEM location. Here is what I have so far.

I am concerned about the clearance with this one as well. I might cut some of the sheet metal out around the brake booster area and all that. I've been wanting to do that anyway for a long time to cut some more weight. I hate how cramped these engine bays are.

I definitely do not have the most experience with Uprev. I am a newb at best. 
The only reason I chose this TB was because I heard the internals of it are made by the same company (hitachi) and they should work without too much change.
Other TB's though I would think would prove to be a lot more work. If I had the extra cash right now, I would probably go full stand alone.

Does it, the uprev, run out of parameters to set, or ????? I agree, stand alone would be great if it weren't so expensive.

To be honest after fiddling with it a bunch, there really isn't anything in TB that needs changed. Well, after I figured out that I had wiring problem and corrected that, I set the TB table back to normal since all the changes I had previously made were for nothing since it was a wiring issue the whole time.
The only outstanding issue that I have with it is getting it to idle on cold starts. I am not sure what I am going to do about that yet. I will cross that bridge once I get this plenum done.

Sorry no updates on this lately. I put it on hold for the last so many weeks and did a bunch of suspension work. Had to tear down most of the rear suspension to install the last of my SPL bushings. The entire car now has all SPL including subframe and diff. Also just added the SPL titanium camber and traction arms and had to replace one of the rear wheel bearings. Suspension is all back together.
I just got back from a much needed vacation in Mexico away from this frozen tundra like weather here in Ohio. Finishing this intake is number 1 priority now. I need to man up and battle the cold and get cracking on it again.

Making more progress. Got the 2nd pipe cut and most of the way welded. The 2nd pic: the test fitting of the TB. Flange and TB both fit. I am going to have to notch a tiny bit out of the hood framing for the hood to shut. Shouldn't be too much though because it almost shuts all the way now. Going out in the garage here in a bit to work on it some more.
