its in a magazine that i saw at barnes and noble the other day.. i read it because it was labled "how to get 30hp out of your d series for under 100$" and it was a d16y8 mani on a y7. from what i remember, it said you just need the mani and TB.

I'm guessing that we are talking about the intake manifold?

check http://turbod16.no-ip.com .. there is a walkthrough on there.. lacking some detail but has pics and stuff.. found it in forums while i was reading through some stuff about turbo's.. for the swap without TB.. should just need the manifold with the sensors still in tact .. get urself a new gasket .. and your Y7 TB will bolt right on.. just have to swap fuel rail etc .. relocate/extend some wires for sensors on TB and vacuum lines .. also if u have aftermarket intake you will have to purchase another for the Y8 manifold.. Y7 wont work unless you can try to modify it

Its Turbo Magazine. The heading is actually 15hp for $100 but thats a small detail

you need an intake too. your y7 intake wont line up with a y8 manifold.
