[UglyMonk3y]

3 weeks ago, check engine light with a P200A (intake manifold actuator bank 1). I need an intake manifold... and there are no OEM part available?? how is that possible?? 6 year old engine and no OEM part being manufactured? I've been on a waiting list and there are no prospective date of availability!

Yep. Same as me before I traded it on an RHO.

Have you looked into aftermarket? quick search lead me to this:

I've seen a couple of aftermarket part, but I'm concerned about the electronics and pressure switches not in tolerance with OEM. 8+ hours to remove and replace a manifold and it not working correctly will not be fun. do you know of anyone using any aftermarket without issues?

No, don't have any knowledge or know of anyone with experience with these. Aftermarket parts often address the issues with OEM parts and are a better choice. I do understand your reluctance though.
