Yes, an 01-up blower will be a bolt on. You can use the 99-00 unit also but you'll need to drill extra holes for the different pattern.

do you mean drill extra holes to put the 01 model on the upgraded manifold ? the reason i ask is the stock 99 bolts right up.believe me im not second guessing you i just need a little more clarification on the drilling.

99/00 blower/intake has a different bolt pattern than 01-up. You can't put a 99-00 blower on an 01-up intake (unless you drill a few extra holes in the blower to match the 01-up bolt pattern).

Are you saying that you have an "upgraded" intake manifold and all, or just the recall kit for the 99-00? The recal kit just gives you the 01-up heat exchanger, and a new midplate with the older bolt pattern. If you have an entire 01 lower intake and all, your 99-00 blower won't bolt on.
