it will bolt right up. You will/should port match the IM to the same dia as the TB. If that is your only mod you most likely wont see any gains. Start searching. There have been some that have done it. There are MUCH better mods

av6 SC. or I/H/P/E/S will yield you a very solid gain.

Spend your money on something else. Unless you port match the entire intake tract, don't expect any gains.

I have:

Custom 3" intake
TypeS TB
TypeS IM

I'm planning to dyno the car very soon.
