an NA FG plenum on a BF would be a good mod! not sure if it fits though!

FG N/A uses a dual volume plenum instead of the dual length runners like EF-BF.
I believe somebody already looked in to it and discovered the BF T/B wouldnt fit.
It would also require a flash tune to work with the new type of plenum.

Also remember that the NA FG plenum is plastic. If history tells us anything its that they develop vacuum leaks over time (and look ghey).

If I recall the boosted plenums were alloy on the FG's. Is that right? Havent spent a lot of time with the FG yet.

They definitely look gay, not to mention keeping it clean(ish) is going to be a nightmare with all those ribs all over it :?

Yes they are aluminium on the turbos.

I think the easiest way to clean the plastic one would be a pressure steam cleaner.

That turbo plenum would look schmick with a good polish too.

Yes it wouldnt run perfectly at the start but it wouldnt take long for a tuner to adjust the AFRs to suit. Seems to just be a log manifold like ea-ed had.

you wouldnt have any bottom end power with that manifold, no matter how good the tuner, the runners are short to suit a turbo setup
