I would like to change the intake bellows. The problem is finding one that will fit. the throttle body on the L76 is located slightly further back than the stock setup. The bellows had to be stretched to bridge the gap between the air bridge and throttle body.

This is just a suggestion and might not make that big of a difference, but you might want to change from the intake bellows (the accordian looking piece in front of the throttle body) to a smooth silicone one. If your intake is going to be the choke point of your setup, then every little bit of airflow helps. Just my .02.

What other changes did you make in order to handle the power? Clutch?

I had a SPEC 2/3 clutch and steel flywheel installed with the engine. I already had a 3.73 diff with a hardened output shaft.
