Question Banks Twin Ram intake manifold and turbo housing on 1st gen?

Since Banks doesn't offer a kit for the 1st gens anymore, will the intake manifold and turbo housing for the 2nd gen 12 valves still fit? I know the turbo pluming is at a different angle but I think I can modify the tubing with a couple elbows to make it fit, please correct me if i'm wrong.

Also, will the "OttoMind" fuel calibration plate work aswell? And will it be compatable with the 1st gen fuel pump?

I will mainly be doing this to increase fuel economy, not power.

Turbine housing is a drop in.

Our pumps do not use fuel plates.

None of the things you are thinking of doing will improve fuel economy. About all you can do is air up the tires, get a bigger exhaust system and a freer flowing intake setup, and advance the timing a bit.

Not to mention a lighter right foot will help the mpg situation
