I have an 09 manifold and a type S throttle body but nothing to stick between them that I think will work like I'd want it to. Work is slow I'm probably gonna get some stock and make one myself.

Make it for the Blox 76mm and make a plate (yes, an adapter for the adapter) to attach to it to bolt the type-s tb to. That way when/if you upgrade you just unbolt the tb, and the adapter plate and bolt on the blox. The blox and the type-s tb use the exact same bolt pattern but with the 76mm opening the vac ports on the type-s tb dont have any material to sit on.

Would boring it out to 76mm make any difference? It's only .01 but that's a ton here at work.

Oh and the engine is out. Total time less than 2 hours, and that includes being distracted watching History channels How the Earth was made
