Intake Plenum = the bulbous bit which holds the air prior to it being divided (hopefully) equally down the throttle bodies.

Sorry, I thought it was an aftermarket item, I didn't realise the standard one was so nicely made - I'm looking for something like this for an engine project I'm working on. I did a search on Ebay and found this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-NISSAN-SUNNY ... dZViewItem

Which mislead me into thinking that is what an OE one looks like - of course, It's listed as a GTIR, but isn't.

Thanks for the link, I shall make some not very discreet enquiries. [:)]

Well you did ask....

I dunno why you can't believe that I thought that, I have never seen a GTIR engine up close in my life.
Take a look under any turbo cars bonnet and you will see some terrible designs, the Cosworth one springs immediately to mind, the VW/Audi isn't great either, both have aftermarket replacements available.
The Nissan one looks a beauty, it's also very rare to see production cars running seperate TBs, I know other Nissans have these too - very efficient, but not many other manufacturers bother.

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
