This area on the inside was built up with weld because this is where one of the new drilled and tapped holes for the 90mm TB.

This was a picture right before the final size cut (90mm). I don't have small hands/fingers, but damn that's a big hole

A view through the hole. some porting will get rid of all of the "silver" aluminum in the way allowing for a full 90mm opening through and through.

Some minor blending work on the outside, not done yet, i want to smooth it out completely and then sand blast with coarse media for that OEM cast appearance.

After porting and smoothing out the inside of the inlet. Don't let the bright aluminum at the bottom fool you. It is not protruding in anyway, its the camera angle. Its 90mm through and through. I then blended all the internal areas so that its a smooth transition from the 90mm opening to the rest of the inlet.

After intercooler was removed. She's a bit dusty, but for a 2006 with 122,000kms, shes surprisingly very clean.

Inlet bolted on temporarily to check fit. And she just clears the surge tanks and the fuel pressure dampener.

Very, very close fit to the surge tanks, and its clear of the fuel pressure dampener as well.

Supercharger no more! Shes a tad dusty, little bit of wet spots that I didn't have a chance to clean up when I did the Valve Cover Gaskets.

The View from front to back of it installed. Very very minimal clearance between the throttle body and Intake plenum, but she fit!

This dictates an 85W-90 oil for the non performance package cars, but this isn't my manual, my manual says 75W-85 hypoid gear oil.
