So, based on the replies, this is how I see the breakdown:
Plastic Turbo Intake on Turbo car = 8-10 HP increase due to better airflow distribution and plastic intake stays cooler.
Metal Turbo Intake on N/A PT = some HP increase, may not be noticable. Hard to install on N/A.
Plastic Turbo Intake on N/A PT = More HP increase, but still may not be noticable, due the the fact that N/A already has a plastic manifold. Air flow distribution amount on N/A is still in debate. Install is still difficult.
If you add the Plastic Turbo Intake on an N/A, please let us know the results and keep us posted. I'd like to know whether this mod is worth the effort.

You got it.
I just want to add a coupla things...
The metal intakes can be picked up cheaply from those turbo guys who've swapped to plastic.
With the metal turbo intake, you don't have to remove anything to replace plugs & wires!
