i recently found a decent site for aftermarket performance parts and they are selling a "surge tank" for a 3S-GTE with no "TVIS" of my first question is what the heck is TVIS and second what is a surge tank the description isnt really that great as far as what it actually is because it has a picture of what appears to be an intake head so would it be an aftermarket header??

surge tank = intake manifold
$3.400 for an intake manifold?! ill pass. tvis = butterfly valves inside every other runner in the stock 3sgte manifold, used to increase air speed velocity at low rpms to promote higher torque. at higher rpms they hinder air flow so it is common practice to remove them. -------------------- |
