well i would venture to guess that the coupler that comes in the kit is made for the stock throttle body, and since you bought a bigger throttle body it is going to be hell to stretch to get it over, you should just go buy a bigger coupler at autozone...

There's no way in hell that coupler will fit over a 65mm TB. It takes a nice shove to get it over a stock one. Take mustangvsix's advice and run to AAP or Autozone and pick up a coupler that'll fit the tube and the TB.

BTW, a TB is worth no power on your car, and may just make it idle worse.

Didn't realize you only had a 60MM outlet. I say you upgrade on both ends and get that baby suckin' and blowin' some serious O2.

oh i dont know that the TB/Inlet is 60mm im just giving an analogy, whatever they are, they are so closely matched that the restriction isnt removed untill you do both.
