2. I am sure it is the case, but who cares now that I am turbocharged. The stock intake wasn't designed to be used with forced induction.
3. The only answer for this is the price. The 2ZZ manifold + 2ZZ TB cost me half or lower than a quoted custom intake manifold only!

1)Again you yourself admit no expertise on intake manifolds. So your logic makes no sense. You are going to waste your time & money.
2)You are correct about the stock manifold, but no one has reached the max limits of it. And the 2zz was also never designed for boost.
3)You will never get anywhere by cutting corners, especially price. Cheaper is never better. There are many reasons custom intake manifold are expensive.
