Upper intake manifold

I was bored at home looking at the intake manifold and trying to what a cnc machine could do to produce another one that is a larger in size to increase the flow when being turbed.

the manifold is two peices put together pretty much.

Questions that i have in the second pic that i am pointing to are these plugs for emissions stuff.

One can..the other 2 are for the VDI and SSV...

If you are Turbo'd..you won't likely use the VDI one either...so you really only need one. I could be mounted anywhere really

Ok thanks I not sure if this has been tried at all but I notice how thr manifold is two pecies put together, I know how how a cnc machine can make pecies so I was thinking by taking the manifold apart and have the two seperate pecies welded to make on to create. An alunium manifold with larger piping.
