Ok I was looking over all my parts yesterday and noticed that the stock S4 T2 intake has the elbox on the TB which faces the firewall and a rubber hose that turns upwards for the TMIC...

I plan to run a FMIC and was curious if anyone sells a strait neck for the TB or if anyone sells a flange with the hose end facing the front of the car?

I have heard of the Higgi elbow however I knwo nothing about it and what its purpose is or what direction it would point in..

THX in advance guys!

 

u will need to get a compression tube to go fmic sorta like this
it will elimante that crud 90* elbow that goes from tb to tmic.

I always figured $100 was kind of expensive for a 4" long aluminum tube, am i the only one who thinks this?

 

I agree it is expensive but that is the only one I've seen for FC's. So that's the one I have on my car. Works great and polishes real nice if you got polished piping.

 

sounds good I appreciate your gusy input...

100.00 may seem like alot but if thats is the item holding you back from getting the FMIC installed 100.00 is what u will pay lol...

if I had a welder I would just cut the stock one and weld a pipe on the end

 

PM HIGGI! He's running low on his TB elbows so buy them while you can.

If 100 bux is expensive to you then I recommed you go buy a car with a HUGE aftermarket.

any Honda, Nissans, FOrds, etc., etc.

 

100.00 is a bit expensive for such a little item HOWEVER I have been in the game long enough to know that parst like this dont HAVE to be cheap.. because those who want or need it will pay the coin because there are not many options..

 

Exactly, that's cheap for a part you can't normally get by itself. You can give the Ebay knock-offs a shot and save money but I went with the Higgi elbow. Helps a forum member and you benefit. WIN-WIN.

 

Just find an elbow from an NA and use a silicone reducer to your pipe diameter if you're worried about cost.

 

the n/a one will curve toward the back of the engine too..

T2 TB's point toward the drivers side..

N/a TB's oint toward the passenger side

 

the throttle body is also mounted upside down when placed on a T2 throttle body it points the correct direction.

 

I have no complaints about my Greddy elbow, but I have it from the 3-row FMIC kit.

 

No it doesnt.

 

I think u are incorrect...

I got a PM from higgi... he sent me some pics I will make my decision when I am ready

THX guys

 

ok..have either of you even looked at this stuff in person?

have some knowledge before you call someone wrong, otherwise you really look like a fool.

notice the elbow.
