It will probably be over 3k landed, and it says that it's not a complete kit.
You'd have to consider the alternatives like a jenvey itb setup and a megasquirt.
Still, would be cool to have the genuine mazdaspeed item.

Talk to Steampunk on the forums, he had one of these on his car.
Or talk to Sailaholic, since he owns that car now.

From memory, the Mazdaspeed kit was just a set of Toyota ITBs and custom airbox etc.
The ECU was a chipped OEM one (hence the AFM being there still)

I think they're just the stock Toyota inlet trumpets.

But i'm really not the guy to ask for any specific details about this kind of thing.

Correct.

Good tech in 1995. Severally outdated tech in 2015

Can't comment on the EMS as I used a MegaSquirt, but yes, they are AE92 throttle bodies on custom manifold.

I don't know what the pipe on the bottom-left (the one that is half rubber, half metal) as I'm sure mine didn't have that.

Mine had aluminium trumpets instead of the AE92 brown plastic things, and the airbox is a different design.

In the third photo of the underside of the ITB's there are little rubber plugs/nipples, these are vacuum balancing tubes. Mine/sailaholic's set had them all connected to one another. Unless there is another system in place, I would connect these up (easy to do with correct hoses and t-pieces) prior to installation because they will be a PITA if you decide to do it when installed.

This is a more complete set as it has the gold air filter box.
