ITB's are not for street use so i would not say they suck . They sound nice and give good power but not drive ability . It is a specific reason someone wants them . Just like saying the GS300 sucks because it has less power but it can be modified to make more power than the 400 for less $ .

Here's a pic of one on an NA 1uz-vvt-i. This is Ed's car and he put out 400+ rwhp. Of course he has more stuff in the motor than anyone else I know. BTW his car revved at 9500 rpm !!

And here is his custom made ITB cover/manifold. He makes his own stuff. He has too much time on his hands and too much talent. His car is crazy!!

Well if you like the tuned 2JZ. But I prefer a tuned 1UZ. As far as his car is concerned, it's all "go" with some "show".

really....a fully tuned/built 3uz fe or 1z is alot sexier as its so much rarer, hell Ricky's car is a PERFECT example. A TT gs400...street able and usable...thats just sexy man
