[Es2] info needed on 20v AAN install into coupe 20v

[Steve Eiche]

One further option would be to modify the AAN intake manifold to put the 
throttle body in front of the radiator, a la MTM and Wagner Tuning 
manifolds.  Why not modify the manifold to fit in the car, instead of 
modifying the car to fit the manifold.  He will need to cut the S2 
harness on the engine side to lengthen the wires for the TPS, ISV and 
IAT sensor anyway to work on the AAN, so why not put it out a little 
farther.
