Intake Manifold & TB options
Got an Evo 5 with 2.3L forged engine, GT3076R turbo, HKS 264 cams. I'm about to tune the car with 27psi boost in mind (93oct). I'm searching for a good aftermarket intake manifold & a throttle body. Since I have a mid-sized turbo, I thought to narrow down my options to mid-sized manifolds. One other factor is that the car is mainly for track use, so I need to maximize the power gain of my setup while minimizing or maintaining acceptable turbo lag level.
The options I'm considering so far:
AMS F1
Magnus V5
JM FAB Race version
Skunk2 Pro Series (although advertised for a stock turbo setup)
Throttle Body:
Skunk2 68mm
Boomba 75mm
I'd appreciate your feedback

Personally I would stick with a stock ported intake manifold + 65mm TB just because the low-mid range would be far more impressive than any IM + TB combination you could think of, except maybe for the HKS Kansai but that would need custom intercooler piping and will end up costing you a lot more.
If you've set your mind with an aftermarket IM + TB, I would go with the AMS F1 with Boomba 75mm, but you'll lose a few horses at the low ~ mid yet gain a noticeable amount up top.

I have a MAP Rev2 and Mil.Spec 65mm that both have less than 5k miles on them and both look great. You can check my thread out if interested. If you buy both, I can work with you on price. There are no issues with either part, I just put my car back to stock...

i would stick with a ported stocker and 65mm throttle body aka ported and re-valved stocker.
remember people run 8's with a ported stock manifold and stock ported throttle body at 65mm. utilize what the evo offers, sometimes spending that extra 1000+ will net you a couple ponies but definitely a loss in spool and street ability.
just my 2 cents

I'm convinced that a ported stock mani is probably the best choice for my current setup but I went with the Magnus V5 & Boomba TB simply because I got a very good offer on both. One more reason is that I plan to install a larger turbo in the future.

i know curt brown takes a stock manifold and turns it into a 70mm ported manifold. Looks like he has some great results with it if your looking for something different.
