OK, I did search, and couldn't really find anything.
My basic question - when does the 914 2.0L intake become a restriction to power? I have a built VW 412 - 2056 cc Type 4 * 9550 RAT cam * LE-180 heads (914 2L combustion chamber, 42mm intake, 36mm exhaust) * Mallory Unilite vacuum advance distributor, Mallory Promaster coil, Mallory Hyfire CDI * Stock 412 heater boxes & Thunderbird exhaust * 2L Bus plenum and throttle body * 2L 914 runners * Ford "Design II" F1TE-D9A (Bosch 0280150947) 24# injectors (modified) * SDS programmable EFI * Oil bath air cleaner housing modified to use large circular filter element I have a pair of IDF manifolds, and some VFR throttle bodies. Roughly equivalent to Weber 40IDFs (maybe a bit better in terms of flow). Engine made 115hp at the wheels. I'm just wondering if the (improved) stock intake is a cork or not?

Probably, but the setup on my car the PO put together is likely the best of factory components, except for the wasserboxer throttle body.
