Post 944S/S2/968 individual throttle body intake manifold

Hey guys. Just had to share my find.

For some reason I couldn't sleep, I cracked open an old GRM magazine, saw an ad for Hayward Performance and went to their site.

It surprised the hell out of me when I found this on their main page:

<img src="http://www.haywardperformance.com/images/porsche944s969.jpg" alt=" - " />

It almost looks like it is a Photoshop. Also, it appears that it would be sticking out of the hood. Perhaps they designed it for some kind of ram air setup.

Looks like the price is likely somewhere arounf $2,000.

FYI, their website is <a href="http://www.haywardperformance.com" target="_blank">http://www.haywardperformance.com</a>.

I have absolutely no affiliation with the company, but was extremely surprised to see this.

I suspect the brass nipples on top of the throttle bodies are for a vacuum connection, or possibly even some kind of airflow equalization between throttle bodies.

You can clearly see the custom fuel rail and two injectors.

Ninemeister is talking 300 hp normally aspirated, right? I'd like that for sure in my cab.

Just found this site browsing around for some aluminum velocity stacks. I was going to start a new thread, but low and behold, someone found this 2 years ahead of me!

I don't think there would be a clearance issue...

That would be a sick setup. A friend's car made a ton of power on a 16V VW with a Badger-5 manifold (same thing as this, 4 individual TB's and stacks). 200hp N/A 1.8L. It's a fast friggin car!

What's the advantage to individual throttle bodies?

Better throttle response is the main reason behind it, but on a turbo car I've heard gains are minimal.

Also, ITB setups typically have short runners which moves your powerband towards higher RPMs.

Milledge setup is 6K dollars!! Sure looks nice though

I asked some people to quantify the gains once, never got an answer. It does improve throttle response.
