Doesn't greddy make one for the T2 engine? I'd post this over in the 2nd gen section you might get better info there. I'm not sure there is anyone putting a T2 engine in a FB now a days, well if you can get a hold of Jim L he might know where to get one I guess.
I guess I'm licky because the 13B-RE has a pretty good stock TB elbow.

I am not any help either. Iam using a Greddy Elbow, but it is for the 3rd Gen throttlebody, attached to the Cosmo engine/intake.

Check with the Australian guys. I believe they have an adapter, that takes your stock throttlebody elbow, and rotates it 180 degrees, so it faces forward.

i did post it in the 2nd gen forum, they werent any help either.

They suggested using the NA elbow, or having one made.

the Na elbow has a 4 in inlet or something huge like that.

Could you cut off the stock inlet down to the flange then weld on a larger tube? Assuming you have access to a TIG or someone that does.

Try www.rxengineering.com under the speedshop, then miscellaneus.

They have an inlet that you can weld a mandrel bend onto to suit your I/C pipes. Or just weld on a short straight pipe and then use silicone hose to get the bends you need.
