It is tapered. I'd have to widen up the intake manifold as well if I wanted it wider, as its the same diameter as the adapter. I fubar'd the s2 throttle body and got this for peanuts from a 95 vr6 and is not modified.ABY S2 stroker (work in progress)

Radiator is from 034 Alex. I wanted to get one made up locally and was getting quotes for over 1k At least I know this will be plug and play, and has all the mounting tabs for the A/C condenser.ABY S2 stroker (work in progress)

Eat your heart out NLA parts and plumbers Took 30min to knock this up, just need to flare the hose ends now or maybe braze a steel ring on the ends for strength

Had a custom throttle cable made up using the original firewall grommet and spring damper, etc. I measured an extra 200mm length added to the original length for both outer sheath and inner cable that was required to have it sit nicely in the engine bay. I got home and the inner cable was around 6mm too short, so I took it back and had a new inner made up with an extra 10mm and is now spot on with the adjustment on minimum, I'm sure it might stretch a little over time.
The 200mm extra length on the outer sheath should be fine for others trying to work out how much extra length is required for a Wagner reverse intake, I am however using a VR6 throttle body adapter plate that adds at least 10mm to the equation, so the inner cable length I used may not be suitable for other builds with a S2 throttle body.
Best part was that it only cost $50!
I modified the throttle bracket on the Wagner manifold to get the correct angle, just need to weld it up now.
