turbo intake manifold question
 

Hey guys, I'm new this forum, and I have an '85/1, but I'm just curious about all 44's in general. I was reading a 968 turbo conversion, and the guy used all 944 turbo parts, including the intake manifold (well, actually he cut the plenum off and welded it to the 968 runners). I was just wondering why he did this. Couldn't he have just hooked a new intercooler to throttle body hose and used the original T/B and intake manifold? Kind of a silly question, but i'm just curious...
