Default Question on the BBK ls1 intake

So i am going to pick up a bbk intake tomorrow for $100 of Craigslist. I have a 99 ls1 with the stock manifold. My question is will i have to change out the TB or can i keep my old one. Also it comes with no hardware so will i be able to install it using the old hardware or will i have to buy extras to install it. Also lastly where can i find a how to manual on installing a intake on an ls1. Thank you

You will need the intake bolts for bbk intake. I did this swap i my car. You can use your stock tb. There is a spacer to use to go from stock to the 80mm opening. Not a necessity, but i have it if you really want it..

Here is the bolt kit i got for mine

So the adapter is not needed and my stock ls1 TB will bolt up to it just fine. Also the url for the bolts you posted does not work
