For you guys running the gt350 cold air intake with stock throttle body... where can I get the gasket to put on the throttle body so it can fit properly? Or part number? Thanks
Here is what I did:

A stock GT throttle body is 80mm. A GT350 TB is 87mm. That's an increase of 3.5mm of radius length center to circumference edge.

In other words you need to build up the lip of the stock throttle body by 3.5mm. This is cheap and easy to do.

1. Remove the intake tube from the throttle body and measure the flange edge width.

2. Then buy a roll of Gorilla tape and cut a long, continuous strip of the tape in the same edge-to-edge width as the measurement taken from the stock TB.

3. Roll the tape around the outside lip of the TB until it reaches a thickness of about 3mm.

4. Secure the intake tube to the tape-enhanced TB.

**If you don't like the idea of using the Gorilla tape, then go to your hardware store and find a sheet of rubber of some kind that is approx. 3mm thick. Cut a strip of it with the same width and circumference (80mm x 3.14) as the outside lip of the TB, wrap it around the TB until the ends meet, secure the ends with a small piece of tape, and viola, you have just created your own rubber gasket!!

Just lock the imrc out. Sometimes they work and sometimes they dont. I tried to get mines to work but eventually gave up and locked them out with no issues

Hard wired also .Ford parts . I had the same codes before and after P2006 and P2007 IMRC closed. Do yourself a favor and lock them out and be done with it .:headbonk:Some cars just don’t like it .

Some people have fault codes or tune issues,with this parts, is it the solution????
Yes Lund told me there was barely any gain running without the lockouts and that it was much easier with them. I haven’t had a code yet.

Question: If you're running IMRC lockouts, should the purge solenoid be connected to the Vacuum 1 port (sticking straight out on the front of the manifold)?

My mechanic capped off Vacuum 1, as well as the purge solenoid. I just want to make sure this routing is correct because I'm experiencing a weird idle.

DISREGARD CIRCLE ON INTAKE TUBE. That's capped off correctly.

Hey Guys,

Just picked up my car from the speed shop last night. Had my pypes catless long tubes, 2018 intake manifold and Lund tune installed.

The engine feels really strong and the power comes on so much harder and faster and revving in the danger zone past 7 feels so naughty.

I did the MMR IMRC Lockouts and as far as I know, that made the install and tuning easier for the shop and lund. And after driving on the first tune yesterday drivability was great, much better than I was expecting and idle was fine.

Has anyone had a shop do this install? Was debating whether or not to do it myself and wanted to see what the average cost of an install on this was.
