Air Foil help
I just acquired an air foil for my 1990 coupe. Problem is, is that is doesnt fit snuggly in my throttle body. It came with no screws and or mounting hardware....It will not seem to stay in there when the air filter hose is attached either. I know these things arent worth all that much in the big scheme of things...but i already bought and would like to use it. Any help would be appreciated.

There are two types that I know of.
This is Eckler's Inlet Fairing:
And this is MAD's Flow booster:
Not sure which onw you have. MAD's is the screw in and Eckler's is the type that is held in place by the air duct.

I have the Ecklers model. It seems to hang outside the front of the TB quite a bit further than I imagined. The air duct alone doesnt feel like it will keep it in place...although I may just need to mess with it a bit more.

Re: Air Foil help (Ras119)
I know what your talking about, as mine wouldn't fit into the TB either. After I did some searching, I found that I had gotten the type that sat in the intake, (wedged in, actually) right before the TB. Well, I left it in for a week, and realized what a peice of junk it was, and got rid of it...

:cheers: I think these things make great E Bay auction items!
Sell it cheap, but charge a lot for shipping and handling!
You might actually make a profit...which would be the biggest benefit you would get from that thing...IMHO :D
