oh yeah plus it gets rid of the maf so I don't know how you'd replace that without the ecu going crazy. Once the ecu scene gets fully figured out I may look into doing a custom setup.

to make it work you would need a stand alone. this mod would probably be best combined with extensive head work and an increased rev limiter. it would produce gains mostly in the top end and possibly lose power down low, i would expect 15 hp from 5000+. its the kind of thing you do to an extreme na motor and as the last mod of a list. also it is useless for f/i

Well.. with itb's for turbo applications.. instead of having the throttle body rotor in front of the intake manifold.. the rotors are inside the manifold.. so running itb's with f/i is not impossible...

It is possible to use ITBs with FI, you just enclose them all in a big plenum. Don't know if it could be done on a Zed without cutting up the bonnet due to the them being on top.

Also I believe the TK ones come with a replacement Motec ECU which is part of the reason they're so expensive.

very good gains across the board. i like em alot! havent dynoed in a while but i like how they are test pipes and headers in one, the primaries on these are very long. if your staying na i recommend these if you dont run cats, but if you do go with the crawfords
