Inner diameter of that TB is almost 3" i should measure it. All my motor-head bro's here are all flipping out about the size of the damned thing! -------------------- Toyo'd, Eibach'd, Kayaba'd & BEAMS'd :D

The Caldina intake however is very nice and could be a lot better when routing a FMIC. exactly, though I do have a wild plan in the back of my mind about building a custom turbo setup for it....gonna have to figure out how to handly it with like an APEX'i PowerFC or something....that somewhere in the not so near future. the one thing I am doing battle with at this moment is to figure out the gauges cluster/dash wiring, I got the BEAMS gauges and the dash-wiring that goes with it, just gonna figure out in the next week or so how to wire it all in.....IF its even possible.... -------------------- Toyo'd, Eibach'd, Kayaba'd & BEAMS'd :D

Turbo setup is a bit pointless on the VVTI engine. Unless you know what your doing and IIWY I would get a AEM.
About the wiring. Isn't the 5th gen still got a speedo with a cable instead of wiring? -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

Isn't the 5th gen still got a speedo with a cable instead of wiring? turbo gonna be a work in progress, I got a contact in japan right now, there are a number of turbo'ed Toyota Altezza's out there, basically the same engine & VVTi. 200hp should be enough for anyone, but i know i will last only a month or so before i go crazy and go into the block and get forged EVERYthing, drop the compression a little bit and stick in an SC61 precision turbo.....who knows..... 5th gen is cable operated, and it sucks when they get older they start to wobble around 20Mph or 40KM/h But the ECU also gets the same speed-signal from the transmission as all newer cars do....i think I know which cable it is too....i'll post it when I get it all figured out! -------------------- Toyo'd, Eibach'd, Kayaba'd & BEAMS'd :D

Why didn't you go for a 3S-GTE in the first place. Would be cheaper in the long rong. Price of a Beams and ST205 front cut dont differ that much.
