Ess actually used to use the stock intake on the vt-450 kits for the early s54 kits.... Another guy from maximum PSI is heavily reseraching using the stock intake for his turbo kit.

The area which is found to balloon is certainly going to require additional steps aside from what I previously mentioned. Obviously avoiding additional weight is always a goal.
Perhaps cutting one open to study is the best start instead of just band-aid'ing the stock unit ?
Engineering a clam-shell full CF/Kevlar unit would be my choice.
