Kegger is just grinding down the stock manifold runners. with a air gap you wont need to worry about plenum fix.

The airgap and kegger are 2 iterations of the same thing: the intake manifold

So to answer your question: no, you cant have all of those on at the same time.

If you put the airgap intake, there is no need for a plenum repair, as the airgap is a solid 1-piece manifold.

Also, 90mm throttlebody? Where did you dream that up?

So that knocks the kegger and plenum fix outta the question? and isnt the fastman Throttle body like the air gap, or are they not both trottle bodys?

No, the hughes airgap is an intake manifold (the thing the throttle body sits on), fastman 50mm is a throttle body

the air gap is just a replacement manifold that increases power and eliminates the plenum. If keeping your stock manifold you will need to replace the plenum gasket with a hughes plenum plate

The air gap is an intake manifold, what the TB bolts to.

Ok, to put this in the simplest terms:

Kegger=stock intake manifold.

Hughes airgap= aftermarket performance intake manifold.

Plenum=slang referring to plenum gasket

Kegger is made in 2 peices, with the plenum gasket between them. When the gasket blows, chaos ensues (oil consumption, clogged cat, etc.).

Hughes airgap is one peice, and therefore, has no plenum gasket, so it cannot blow out (because it doesnt exist).

Hope that clears it up.

While we're on the subject, continue posting terms that a new user/mechanic may not know, and I will answer to the best of my ability.

Ex. TB=Throttle body, IAC=Idle air control motor, etc.
