    BAM!
    Ehh, ITB's are good for a NA application. Once you get into forced induction, things like ported/polished heads, etc mean less since that side's already having air shoved in anyhow. Stuff like cam lift and bigger valves start becoming more important...

    You'd be better off spending ITB money on a MAP-based engine mgmt and ditching that AFM garbage.

    Sure. There is no SC small enough to fit on a stock manifold in the alpina position? Surely something will fit...
