Do not put on the 997 Intake!
Corey if it does the same thing on my car lets fly over to Germany and throw our manifolds through their windows! Would remind me of the old Discount Tire commercials!

Wow Corey, you weren't kidding about it cracking. I suspect that you've pushed the edge of the envelope a bit too hard on this part (1.8 bar). I wonder if you can't pull it and have it epoxy coated which would seal up your crack and serve as a major re-inforcement for the part.
The thing that urks me about this problem is why would a cast piece split before a composite piece? I have ran right at about 2.0bar before on the streets and mine is still in one piece (I hope LOL). Only way I can tell is no boost issues and the car is still making power.
Kinda makes me wonder if the composite is actually stronger?

Oh well the damage is Done.
DAMB YOU MARKSKI! Why why why i tell myself * note to self leave cars stock! *
YEA RIGHT!
YOU DOG YOU!!! You should have told me we could have done 2!
So who is making your intake?
I kid on mine, at least at the moment. After hearing your story I may have Boost Logic look into having one done. I know they have made quite a few on their Supra's. My motor comes out this week. Have been a little quiet lately due to a tank of bad gas that wouldn't leave! I finally get it all situated and I destroy 3rd gear... Power shifting was not the smartest thing to be doing... 
I'm going to order parts soon enough! As well as multiple transmissions pieces... Ugh... Though I may have a surprise coming for the car as well, but I'm still crunching numbers on everything. I'll let the world know soon as everything is final!

I hope it all comes together for you soon enough and you really make some noise!

997 gt2 intake is aluminum, but ive been told it chokes you uptop on 800+ builds as it uses smaller runners then the 997/996 but still outflows the 996
