L28E vs. L28ET manifold for ITBs?

Would the n/a and turbo intake manifolds be interchangeable in an application that replaced the plenum?

I mean, will a turbo intake manifold bolt up to an n/a engine? Assuming it has a supply of air and fuel...

Yes... all L28 intakes are interchangable. But the desired one to use is the N42 intake w/ no EGR. But none of them are made for ITBs.

The egr can be easily plugged though, right?

Of course they're not MADE for ITBs, what would be the fun in it if I didn't have to chop and patch? :P

Uhhh... TWM makes an ITB manifold specifically for the Z car L series motor...

You can use their ITB's with a Weber, Mikuni or SU intake manifold.

I was thinking about doing dual ITB's on my spare SU intake manifold for one of my 240's.

Thanks, I'll look into those for design ideas...

However, I'm only doing this so I have a decent boosted ITB setup designed when the rb is ready to go in... So I can just move a few brackets, make some new linkages etc. and not have so much down time there.

Oh... I'm also going to be constructing the rb's intake manifold from scratch, so this is kind of like a stepping stone for me in fabricating.
