Default GSR IM/TB - be the Acura Sage I need

91 Integra LS, contemplating getting used GSR parts, IM and TB specifically. Worth it? Complications with conversion? Direct bolt-on? Thanks for any help. Who will be my hoary wizzened Acura sage tonight? Will it be you?

Doing a search on "acura gsr intake manifold" on ebay provides several examples of what I'm considering.

Why bother with stripping the secondaries out of the GSR's two stage manifold?
The Skunk2 IM will perform nicely with much less work..

And the TB's are nearly identical in diameter, you won't notice a power increase.

Not like it would fit any other year LS head either....or anything besides the GSR head.
