Hey guys so I'm the proud new owner of a supercharger kit based around Department of boost intake manifold just trying to figure out which generation manifold I have. Can anybody chime in with what the differences are between the first and second generation?

Simplest identifier is the thermostat area is a separate piece on Gen2.

This is a Gen1, redline shows approx where it's separated on Gen2

This ^ is correct, and Gen 2 also supports larger lines. You can also get a composite heat barrier (the black thing seen at the bottom of the manifold on the pictures above).

I have everything but the lower manifold. If I wasn’t paying for my wedding right now I’d pull the trigger

I’ll be taking my generation 1 450 manifold off in the near future to install my new generation 2 450 manifold. If your interested I’ll be selling the original manifold for $1000 plus ship
