Any more info? It's been almost a month since the last post to this thread. I love the handling of my Yaris (Megan Racing coil overs and Ultra Racing chassis bracing) but it DEFINITELY needs more power. I want one of these intakes with a larger throttle body!

I received the modified prototype on Friday. I'm working on getting the test car again to do a final fitment and decide which version to make a bunch of.
As far as I'm concerned it was pretty close last version, but we did a little more tweaking to get more stock hoses to fit without needing replacement, and MAYBE to be able to connect the manifold to the stock airbox. I'll know this week.

I'm concerned about fitment with the Mishimoto radiator...from the pic it looks a little tight, will it clear?
I happen to have a Zage kit waiting for a good reason to be installed, hehe.

Maz, we think the intake will be fine with your new radiator.

Shouldn't matter, but we'll see how much clearance we have very soon with the newest version.

Any news on this? I probably check both here and the MI forum every other day or so, I'm really looking forward to this being available for sale. Where you able to find a test car for the new piece? How did it work out?

I spoke with Garm. Looks like he's going to be using the same test car, but they are working on scheduling....

Garm when this thing is all done do you think you'd be able to establish whether this will fit with the PE Supercharger kit that you carry now? Just a little curious.

Final proto sent off today, and we are in production folks. Hoping for 2-3 weeks, but I can't make promises or provide accurate pricing quite yet. More to come, but it IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON. Whew.

@ frown: I don't know -- I know it won't work with the blitz kit because that design replaces the intake manifold with its own blower and pipe.

Right but it's just a blower above the alternator with the intake piping on the Rotrex kit. Still the stock manifold though. Looking at the video you posted I'm thinking it won't fit but I was under the impression the size of this new mani is subject to change. I guess I'd just need to know how much clearance you end up with between the mani and radiator.
