Of course. Keep in mind you will need an EGR plate.

If you're running a a stock bottom end and heads etc., I think you might be disappointed with the performance of the TFS intake on top of it. To answer your question though... Yes, you can put a 70mm TB and spacer on it with no trouble.

Agreed. Your TFS intake is not going to do much if anything. Huge bottlenecking of air will go on here. Letting you know in advance so we don't see a "New intake, No new power" thread later.

Well, rebuilding the stock bottom end is going to end up costing more than new heads.

Save up. Buy heads/cam/intake. You'll be set.

If you must have an intake now. Still have to say TFS.

I see you're running an 86. My reccomendation? Save your intake money. The 86 intake is no slouch but the heads are terrible. If anything, send that intake out to TMOSS for some port work and put the money you save towards a set of TFS heads. A little intake work will net you a noticable improvement and shift the bottleneck 100% to your heads. Take that same worked over 86 intake and install it ontop of the TFS heads and a decent cam and you won't believe the difference. Of course more gains will be had once you eventually upgrade from that intake as well. Last footnote: Don't forget about the TB and spacer.

I have the trick flow intake on my stock heads at the moment and I noticed a decent improvement in power. I'm even running a 75mm (I know, too big) throttle body on it and i still picked up bottom end power. I'm putting the new heads, cam, rr's, and accessories on in a few weeks when I get the car back from the tranny shop. I can't wait. I would however do as everyone has suggested and wait until you get a good cam and heads before you put the intake on. That way you'll only have to do it all once.
