So, I'll be buying the intake very soon.
 
This is the cheapest I found so far: http://www.nextgenautoparts.com/sard/sard-sport-ex-plus-intake/xa59340/i-166866.aspx
 
However, they're not showing all the parts that the intake package comes with, aka the blue MAF adapter as per this photo: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81H8z2qFGdL._SL1500_.jpg
 
I've asked them to confirm if those parts do come with their package, but is it safe to assume it should? Especially considering it's the 59340 package and description states it comes with an adapter.
 
I've also bookmarked this from ages ago: http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/reducar/sard-59340-0.html which looks like 100% the right intake, and I've asked Import Monster if they can help me import it, I couldn't find it via their browse feature.
 
Just wanting to double check that I'll be buying the right part haha. :)

The one on the first link is definitely NOT the right one. It's for earlier NA SW20's, which don't use a MAF.
 
The second link is the right model > SPORTS EX+ MR2 SW20(VVT-i) 3S-GE 97.12〜99.10
The mount in the photo still isn't what you should get with it though, but I assume that's because its a generic photo used for the SARD filters. The correct intake tube with the MAF mount will look like this. (The MAF is already mounted in this one.)

Cool, even though it's the right part number for SARD... that's weird.
 
Anyhow, I'll chase after the 2nd one, it's probably the safer and cheaper option, straight from japan :)
 
Let's hope Import Monster can help!

Most important thing is to ensure the one you get is clearly for (VVT-i) 3S-GE 97.12〜99.10
 
If it's not for a 97.12〜99.10 NA engine with VVTI, it won't have a MAF mount on the intake pipe.
