I have decided the ute is going turbo'd and injected, and I am starting to collect bits.

Can anyone here make me an intake plenum for an A15 that I can adapt a single throttle body to? Or does anyone know anyone who sells them?

A decent metal fabricator should be able to make one up for you. Only problem is you would have to design it for your requirements. Surely some of the performance shops over there (on the mainland) could design one for you, but of course whats the cost going to be??

Check out the Tech Section article Supercharging and Turbo-supercharging for some ideas. Also use the search box for marine fabricator where I think this was discussed.

Yeah, I can design my own and get it made if I have to, but I was kind of hoping that someone has already designed one and sells them. Would be a lot less hassle is all

maybe the easiest way is to get a twin su gx manifold,then using that as the inlet runners,fabricate a large plenum to bolt to the runners.this was done by a friend with a supercharged 1200 ute(the one used as an example of 1200 versus 1000 front suspension).just making the plenum would be easier than also fabricating the runners.as for injectors,weld-in injector bosses are available from injection perfection,& should also be available from other sources.you could try using a ca20de manifold for bits & pieces,as these are very unloved,& should be cheap to buy.
