The cheapest FG intake I found was $500+shipping. So its over $600 by the time its shipped to me here in America. I'll be porting the hell out of this intake and eliminating the flappers. I'll probably end up making a forward facing intake similar to the PlazmaMan or an RB26 with the front facing TB. I mainly did this out of curiosity. I want to see what I can do with the stock intake.

I see the intake manifold has been chopped and welded.

 

Is there a reason for that rather than sending a pipe around the corner? 

 Several reasons.

1. I don't like the 2 hard 90 degree turns these adapters require. Hard 90 degree turns hurt air speed. It probably won't effect rear wheel HP, but every little helps. 

2. I don't like the way it looks.

3. Cost, I see the relocation kit sell for $350+shipping. Shipping it to America means it will be almost $500 for a relocation kit that I don't like. Flipping the TB only cost me an hour and a half.

4. Curiosity and boredom. I have been wondering if flipping the TB would work. I had free time so I decided to give it a shot.
