why would they bother doing that to a stock manifold when they could make a better performing IM and do that to it... that manifold wouldn't even probably support the hp, that the secondary rail could supply, lol..
not a horrible price for it, but i would just get a beta I IM, port and polish it, and have bungs welded in, itll cost ~ the same..

I can buy the 2nd fuel rail kit on here $550, buy 440 injectors $385, Im sure the total cost will be close to $1000 with shipping, or I can buy that IM on ebay for $335 shipped. Im just not sure if I will be able to do the mods requierd to put that 03 Im on my car. Im not even sure what mods Ill have to do to get it on there.

that manifold doesn't come with the injectors.. so you would have to buy injectors anyway.. you can get a fuel spacer cheaper from t4turbo tib.
if you buy this, you will have to worry about the welds not being as good as they look, not being able to easily access your second fuel rail OR the injectors if they leak, without taking off the manifold.
so lets price this out... fuel rail setup from t4turbo, like 350 or w/e it is, that comes with fuel spacer, fuel rail, fuel line, fittings, longer studs, etc.. and the 385$ for the 440cc injectors. so 735$.
if you buy this manifold, you will have to modify some things, and hope it all works out alright.. all for 335$ shipped, then you will need a custom fuel rail made, buy fittings, extra fuel line, the 440cc, etc. and your total would be same, close, if not more than 735$. and you would have to worry about the fitment, and all that other crap..

You guys are right. I guess the thing that I was bent on was that I thought the fuel injectors came with the manifold. I thought that if I went this route i would be able to save a bunch of money, but i guess in the long run it would be about the same and without all the headache of tring to get it to fit.
I want to thank everyone that replied to this. I wasnt sure how many ppl would. Thanks for the help everyone!!!

yah, the air ram is done... you wont find one unless someone sells theres..
that one your talking about? do you have pics.. no IM is worth over 1000$ IMO.. you can port and polish the stocker, and matched with a nice BBTB, you will have more than enough flow with most applications.
