throttle body had been modified also ... trac butterfly , motor and sub-tps where deleted.

they wanted to have more air into the plenum so they could get more air into the chamber... more cold air, squirt more fuel ... you got more power .

The question is for what ? when the longblock is a stock JDM GTE . A lot of people are carried a way with what they hear , read or see on the internet .... or what is pretty .

PEOPLE -> the stock GTE intake manifold can get you to +1000rwhp . And 99% of people building a performance car are not even trying to get 1000rwhp. It only becomes a restriction after around 1100rwhp. So stop wasting your money into modifying that GTE intake not unless you are trying to get more than 1100rwhp.

EDIT : making your plenum bigger just makes the system more laggy and won't be as responsive. So if it is not needed on your power goal , it is wise to leave it alone.

it was a popular aftermarket modification for a while, but as Gerrb said its not really needed just going to lag a bit more.
