Difference between 1st and 2nd generation Dept of boost manifold for three valve??

[Joe88xj]

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?

IIRC they used 1.25" lines on their last gen IC. Other than that ??

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



Edit added Gen2 thermostat/water neck separate area picture

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
