How did you 1g guys put on your stock intercooler piping on a 2g throttle body elbow? The piping is small enough to fit inside the elbow so fitting it over the elbow like normal is not an option. I tried putting it inside the elbow but it blows it out. Do I need to get a rubber coupler or what? If so how would I attach the two rubber peices together, because I think it would blow out of there as well. I tried searching for a topic on this but did not find one. Any ideas, suggestions, or threads I missed. Thanks.
 
Honestly, I'd look into a full UICP for your set-up. You won't notice any difference in a larger throttle body elbow by itself. The only thing I could think of would be a coupler reducer from 2.5" (or whatever the size is) into the stock IC pipe size but I really have no clue why you would put rubber on rubber, or silicone on rubber? :confused:
 
nevermind I got it. I used a exhaust reducer and a peice of radiator pipe. Yeah I know I need to get a full UICP but the thought of spending $175 on a peice of pipe is insane.
