I want to get a set of IK200's from Brodix, but they only come in a perimeter bolt style. I've currently got the centerbolt L98 Stockers. Will the TPI intake still bolt to the heads, or am I going to have to modify it or get new centerbolt heads altogether? Anyone done this before?

 

The valve cover bolt pattern has nothing to do with how the intake bolts to the heads. What will matter, though, is the angle of center 2 bolt holes on the intake. However, that too can be fixed by wallowing out the center 2 holes on the intake.

IMO, a new set of valve covers is just fine considering Brodix makes some great heads.

 

Yeah, I was planning on getting Valve covers anyhow, since mine are all shoddy looking. No better way to top off the looks of the engine bay with a new set of valve covers =).

When you say wallowing out, do you mean just grinding the hole so that it is at an angle so that the bolt will fit through?

 

Yea, pretty much. Then you just find some sort of spacer to mate the bolt head to the intake properly to apply adequate clamping force. I've never done it personally, so try searching the boards and see what people are using.
