gen 2 stock intake design question....

[drlee50]

Can anyone tell me how its designed exactly on the inside? What I assume is that one throttle body feeds 5 opposite bank cylinders and the other TB feeds the other 5. My main concern is: is there any passageway between the two sides? Is there a balance tube/ passage or something that connects all 10 cylinders to each TB or are they totally separate?
thanks!

Lee,
Vaguely remember them being completely seperate runners (as you described). Someone had a pic way back when of a intake mani cut right down the middle.

Quick test would be to block one end of runners, fill those runner with a fluid through their throttle body, and see if it goes into oposing runners.

Wait there is a balance tube....but may not be what you need for a TT setup. Balance tube would be better before TB I'd think in this case.

I am going to pull the intake off for the cam swap anyway so I am just going to test it as you described....but Ill just use compressed air I think. The turbos and UGR kit arrived yesterday!
