Not sure if you saw it but there's a how to thread that will help with questions.

As for being the plastic intake I'm sure it will work. The problem areas I had with mine were where the thermostat is. The plastic heating and cooling over time makes it brittle and then it starts to leak so be ready to replace that one down the road.
EDIT: Link feature hasn't been working for me lately.

yes. the plastic one will work.. it's just many people tap into the spot on the alum x-over for the 2nd sensor.. I have seen people weld a bung onto the top of the t-stat housing for the 2nd sensor with the all plastic manifold.... oh, and if it came off an '02, it should not be all plastic.
