86/87 intake

I did a search, but couldn't find my answer. Do the 86/87 intakes bolt up to our cars? If they do I bet they get in the way of the turbocharger right? (planning on going IC)

It will bolt up...I did it and had to custom make an upper plenum to still allow me to run the turbo in the stock 85 location...Not worth the effort to do, but I'm a machinist and had access to a mill to make it...Not only that, but having to relocate the upper radiator hose and some wiring was just some of the minor problems I had doing it...

If I had to do it again, I would buy the TurboMotion intake which is a heavily modified hotair intake with the throttle body relocated to the intake, but yet still retains the turbo in the stock "hotair" location...

I figured as much. It's amazing how easy it is to not save money.
