i recently found a decent site for aftermarket performance parts and they are selling a "surge tank" for a 3S-GTE with no "TVIS" of my first question is what the heck is TVIS and second what is a surge tank the description isnt really that great as far as what it actually is because it has a picture of what appears to be an intake head so would it be an aftermarket header??

Not too sure about your explanation of TVIS.
The thing with the butterfly valves within the manifold I thought was ACIS. TVIS was GT4 boost related. Something to do with upping the boost in first/second gear IIRC. You can deactivate this so you have the same boost pressure in each gear. |

What you are referring is TVSV, not TVIS. TVIS = Toyota Variable Induction System TVSV = Turbo Vacuum Switching Valve Might wanna read this: http://www.gtfours.co.uk/what/tvis/tvis.htm -------------------- _Gary
