Thanks for the interest!
We are looking at this closely. 
The existing design as used on the 2.0 would work on 2.2/2.4 with some revisions. It could be equally adept for boosted or NA use. It would add significant power at high RPM due to less overall restriction and shorter port runners. And, as mentioned, the manifold would offer options galore for direct-port N20, meth, or our famous PortFueler concept for mega-boosting!
How do you fellows feel about your throttle body being located in a similar position as our 2.0 manifold? It would lead to some customization in terms of air intake...possibly incorporating a 2.0 w/washer reservoir on the passenger side, then coming in with an intake from the driver's side instead. One would also have to extend some wires for MAF, perhaps also throttle body, but that's easy cut/splice/solder stuff.
Your thoughts, gentlemen?

I think I'll gladly test it 
ahahah
none of that sounds like a huge deal or anything other than relocating the TB and the intake, although even that isn't a big deal, there are the "make your own" ebay kits for like 25 bucks now which are just as good as the K&N and Injen, and most of us are tuned for this sort of thing anyway so CEL's aren't an issue. relocating some wires isn't a big deal either as there are plenty of diagrams for our TB on the web here.

I would like to see an intake manifold that was designed specifically for N/A engines. This would mean that the throttle body would mount in the center of the plenum to eliminate a vacuum drop from one cylinder runner to the next. Each runner should be as close as possible to equal distance from the throttle body to the cylinder head.

yeah i personally would love to see a "plug and play" intake manifold. just a refined stock version with the same contact points and all i need to do is swap out the old for the new. also what would they be made out of? plastic? metal? i would love a nice carbon fiber one.... but i know that would shoot up the cost.
