Can spend money else where for more power..
... More boost for 1, better exhaust manifold, exhaust....
Then you can work forward to a better manifold/ TB setup.. But dont expect big gains. the stock manifold is already well designed..

Replacing the intake manifold is a waste of money to be honest.

The question is, what all have you already had done. intake manifold is one of the LAST things to do if expecting it to yield POWA!!!!

Make sure you have wheels and tyre combo to hold the power down too, not to mention a diff that can handle the power too.

Upgrading the IM wasn't even on my radar as far as power upgrades. I'd say until you're maxing a N1200 on an E85 tune, its not something you should really look into if you're after power.

Spend your hard earned money else where . The oem intake is very good . If you have exhausted all other options on increasing power then maybe you could find a few more ponies from modifying or replacing the oem unit . I honestly doubt there would be much to gain from this with a supercharger .

Seconded in regards to IM upgrade, also, diff doesn't need upgrading unless you suck at driving/drive like an asshole
