not without a TB adaptor...which I think would be difficult...and maybe with some porting but I can't imagine much...

also...wonder about the saab turbo intake manifold? though it might be too big, i'm not sure.

If I am correct, isnt the SC manifold made of metal? You might infact see a decrease in performace due to weight. It wouldnt make much sense to do it without putting the SC on there. and yes... you would need either a TB adaptor or an SC TB

ok, issue, our manifold has an intercooler built in, its a biiiig honkin chuck of metal...and the supercharger sets right on it, so there would be no way in hell to adapt a filter fitting for it unless you like to do aloooot of custom work for something that would be pretty much pointless...

That and metal is a bigger conductor to heat than the plastic so you would have that much hotter air entering the engine.

Yep, if you put the S/C on the manifold!

putting a sc manifold on wouldnt really do a whole lot for you...its already not got alot of capacity due to poor design...pick up a 9-5 turbo intake mani or a cobat ss tc mani when it comes out...the only difference between ours and the ss tc mani would be thats ours is composite plastic and thaeres is made of metal....which is good for higher boost levels...that is if your even talking about the intake side..
