TPIS = Tuned Port Induction Specialties (company)......not a part though.

Do you mean a Throttle Body from TPIS? I'm confused

It doesn't matter if it is a factory TPI throttle body or a TPIS throttle body. Just position the butterfly so it fits in the throttle bore properly and re-tighten the screws. A little Locktite wouldn't hurt, but generally this screws are staked so they can't back out. I would be sure they are well staked.

RACE ON!!!
