Depends on the length of your new upper. You could always just add spacers if you need, as I needed to do, to make your intake fit. This way you can adjust it to the perfect length. Compare the lengths of the new parts your getting to the stock configuration, and see if it will work.

Im pretty sure that those uppers do not include the elbow to connect your EGR valve and a few vaccum lines, as the stock one does. Or it might come as a seperate piece, which gives the intake the angle towards the front of the car and extends a few inches. So keep that in mind.

Cool. We have actually had this discussion way back about 70mm TB to do or not to do and all the in's and out's thereof. I do not see a problem with that, however, make sure you have some spacers and gaskets, always seems to be what people leave out, and sometimes the MFG will not send them w/o a request.
