AEM and throttle body

i bought a used intake and kinda got screwed. although the photo didn't include the pieces, i thought a more honest person would have disclosed that their were pieces missing if they knew at all instead of just shipping it "lite".

well after sourcing everything i need minus one thing, I need some help real quick so i can find it local

if anyone can give me a hand it would be awesome. it's pouring out here and i need to know if i need a reducer for the throttle body end to the AEM. i can order just about anything from samco if i need to but it will take weeks. i can get some things from the local autozone for a temp solution if it is a straight fit but i need to know before i try to buy anything.

if someone has an AEM in their house and can take a look that would be awesome.

just the throttle body coupler. don't know if it's different or not from the other ones.

Perhaps the picture will help you. I got a few more (see my account). If I understood right you are talking about the piece that connects the throttle body and the first metal piece of the intake. This piece has an angle and it's not the same with the others. Further, I think it is a bit wider than the other pieces. Hope this helps. Man I hate the people trying to screw us! Every time I buy something I get so stressed until it arrives and see that everything is fine.

i actually have the bubble piece, thats the first time i have seen it installed like that. everyone else has the bubble piece connecting the elbow piece with the first/smallest straight tube. now i don't know which one i need.

see what i mean?



sorry Easy, i stole a photo for reference.

don't know who's this is but it's impossible to see the first piece coming from the throttle body.

is their a reduction piece? if so i need measurements. please.

Man the stupid instructions from AEM got me confused(( After I printed the instructions the pictures got amazingly vague. I guess I will have to redo it at some point the way everybody does It works fine though the way it is now The instructions have all the parts you need. Here you are:
