Default after market intake manifold? good investment?

would it be worth 2-300$ on a aftermarket intake manifold such as skunk2 or edelbrock? i want to turbo my hatch, but that is a while from now. i want a good N/A engine right now. i have a B16a1 in a '90 dx. i figure that it would be good to have a better intake system with the turbo, so i will already have it, but if power improvements arent that good than i wont waste the money.


thanks.

i was satisfied w/the gains on my GSR w/the skunk2 and ecu, and even moreso when i put on my turbo!

Power improvements are not that hot on a lightly modified N/A, none if you don't have a larger TB yet.

Turbo first, upgrade little stuff like that later. You'll see bigger gains when you actually need it.
