GT500 throttle body install help.

I recently purchased a GT500 throttle body for my 2008 Bullitt. My problem is what do I need to but so the ford intake will fit over the Gt500 throttle body. Anyone have any tips for mme? Anyoone have pics of one installed on their mustang?


thanks

find someone who sells a kit, and get the rubber hose from throttle body to air intake. some people just sell the throttle body some people sell the throttle body, hose, spacer to fit it to manifold and hose clamps/hardware.

for example this is what you might be looking for.

search around and you will find what you want.

I understand I need a bigger one but wont it crush the factory intake hose when u tighten it since it is rubber? I was just wondering if it will provide a good seal.

Biggest waste of cash. Added less than 1 HP and added 1 TQ.

No tune required for the GT500 TB since it is a ford part. TPS voltage is the same as the stock one was. I did ask have the shop mess with the tune though and that is why i got the gaines i did. Before he messed with it i had a 1HP and 1 TQ loss.

The reason I asked? I just bought a used Granetelli 62mm twin tb from another forum member. So I'm thinking I should call Brenspeed and maybe get an updated tune?

Not sure about that. But when I called brenspeed for the GT500 TB they said no tune needed since it was a ford item. They were right it bolted right on and works perfect just no noticible gains on a stock motor.
