connecting tb to intake lid? i know there is the fernco mod but im looking for something more show
here is my issue
as you can see in the pic i have a 90mm holley tb which is a circle and the airlid has an oval end to it, anyone got some ideas on what and were to look to get some tubing for this?? (i am thinking i can press one end around the oval but im just not sure where i can find what im wanting)

Best way to check would be to measure OD circumference (around) the TB mouth, and do the same for the airlid oval mouth.
No matter what the shape, round or oval, a hose with a certain ID will only fit around if the circumference it is going over is cloes to the ID of the tube.
i.e. if the TB OD is let's say 95mm and the lid oval circumference is 120mm, a hose that fits correctly over the TB, will probably not be able to stretch far enough to cover the 120mm. And if you get a hose that will go on the 120mm neck - it will be way to big for the 90mm TB.
Silicone hoses will give a little - but they are reinforced in the inner layers which does not allow them to expand a whole lot.
I've personally never seen an aftermarket lid with an oval neck? What about your MAF? are you deleting it and going with SD tune? If not, that has to go in there somewhere also.
You might luck out since the TB is a 90 and will have a bigger OD than stock - that way the hose ID you need to fit may be also big enough to cover lid inlet if the oval is not that large...

yes it is an sd tune car i know 90mm is like 3.453 inches i think and the airlid came with this dryer hose looking thing that fits the stock one so you may be right and i may not be able to get something to work but thanks for the help
Sounds like you need the piece similiar to the blackwing piece. the blackwing lid has a oval opening, then a piece that is oval on 1 end and round on the other....like this....http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=10956
