Is that really a restriction though? I mean, YES you can see the edges through the throttle body but unless you are using a monoblade TB that was the same size of the lip on the front, I dont think its restricting. I would like to know how much that metal elbow can flow vs. that 58mm TB. I'd bet on that elbow flowing more than those 58mm holes.

The Trick Flow one is metal and looks identical to that ebay one. I'm assuming it is a clone. My point is just that unless your running forced induction, you are operating on intake vacuum to get the air in, correct? And such, if the elbow flows more than the TB than there isn't any restriction.
Could be wrong but, just how I was thinking about it.

yes that restriction is definately worth paying the extra $$$ not to have, thats why i went with the trickflow. ABA383 just ask yourself how much you have already spent on the car......

... IT fits the stock TB, so I luckly found a friend that was willing to trade me for a 1LE elbow. If you want to gamble with that pos then by all means go ahead. Does anyone have a simmilar pic of the other elbows?
