Default TPIS 90mm pics

I was searching on here before I bought mine, and couldn't find any pics of the TPIS 90mm tb. I thought I'd take a few of mine and post them up in case anyone is interested. It's a really nice piece, blade opens and closes with no catching. Not the best pics, but you get the idea.

It's going on a LSX 90 mm. I should be getting it installed in a few weeks.

So they do come with provisions for the fresh air tube? They didn't before and this was a problem. Awesome.

It the brownish tube on the passenger side top of your TB. They didn't do that before. See for yourself. Busta. Here's the old version that required the bellow tap.

Looks good...there was a thread about a month back or so and someone from TPIS said that they just recently added the fresh air line hookup...

That's awesome. I'm glad they took care of it. Picking a 90mm TB will be a no brainer from now on.

I have a 90mm FAST throttle body that has the air tube in the back also but the opening on the inside is in front of the blade. Kind of looks like that may be the case in the one in the picture.

Do I have a problem too?
