Thanks.  Its an M20 big bore throttle body, and the oil filler cap is from Pegasus but I think he went out of business.

I can produce additional intakes.  They're $800 in aluminum and $1,000 USD in powdercoat including the runners (there is a core charge for the runners).  Depending on your displacement, I'd recommend a GT2860 or GT3071 Garrett turbo.

It will come with a blank throttle body flange (drill it to your match your throttle body) and I can customize the bosses/fittings for MAP, brake booster, air temp, and IAC if you would like.

you said you were running a bored m20 throttle body correct? would you say this is a required or necessary upgrade, or just something you've done? would an m42 throttle body be sufficient?

We don't use the stock ECU.  We're running a custom Tec3R ECU from Vic Sias that features a MAP sensor.

It is a purpose built race car now, so it's never had AC on it since we built the motor.  I think it would fit, but there may be problems with the AC lines, etc.  Check with Jon at 666 Fabrication.  The power steering is not a problem.

We went with the big bore M20 tb for a couple of reasons.  One is that we didn't like the double butterfly of the M42 tb.  The other is that we had the big bore TB coming off my M20 and it turned out to be the right size tb for our turbo application.

We should have performance number before the end of August.  Keep looking at this thread for an update.  

We are finishing some body work this week (massaging the body kit from EuroStop).  

The plan is to get the car painted within the next week.  After that we plan on scheduling some dyno time to tune the new intake.
