I will post a pic of the stock intake manifold and you will see why lol..
you are also right about its operation, although I could have come up with something, I wanted to take them out.. different car, same idea, but check out these dyno's of butterfly valves removed in these cars..

I suppose as long as you enjoy it, its fine, I'm just giving my opinion.
I guess I will just have to wait for the next dyno, but I can't fell any loss down low really

60mm should be plenty large, its the same size as 1g turbo DSM's I think..

Re: New Intake Manifold
60mm is the same size as a 1g DSM, you're right, but we are under boost conditions, so the actual air mass flowing through the TB is far larger for the same throttle size.
That's a tiny plenum for sure. Im sure there are topend gains to be had by simply increasing its size.

The new one is about 1.5 times the size or so
