Question 58mm TB help!

Okay, I've got my 58mm Tb and have had the intake bored properly but, the factory air intake piping does not fit over the 58mm Tb. Anyone know where I can get an air intake kit thats fiited for the 58mm TB? I need one that will fit directly over the TB, as I have had the MAF sensor deleted from my computer.

Try some lubricant. The outer diameter of the 58 throtle body is "identical" to the factory 48, just the inside is enlarged.

Not a problem. To answer your other question, C.A.I. means Cold Air Induction.

I had the same problem, just put grease on both the elbow and TB and push as hard as you can. just takes a little effort.
