3. I dont get why you would think that the factory manifold from the 2ZZ would be a better manifold than a custom one engineered to work for a specific engine combination.

1. I am no expert in intake manifolds but I am sure this manifold will definetly show more gains than the stock one. Since it was used on a 1.8L engine which revs 8000rpm it will surely be a plus with a 1.5L turbo engine.

2. I am sure it is the case, but who cares now that I am turbocharged. The stock intake wasn't designed to be used with forced induction.

3. The only answer for this is the price. The 2ZZ manifold + 2ZZ TB cost me half or lower than a quoted custom intake manifold only!

1)Again you yourself admit no expertise on intake manifolds. So your logic makes no sense. You are going to waste your time & money.
2)You are correct about the stock manifold, but no one has reached the max limits of it. And the 2zz was also never designed for boost.
3)You will never get anywhere by cutting corners, especially price. Cheaper is never better. There are many reasons custom intake manifold are expensive.

Well, the way you're giving advice you seem to be an expert on intakes manifolds. So how would you go about improving forced airflow without spending 5 grand on design and testing until you have the best possible flow you can have?
