silicone couplers for throttle body
 
Hey guys, just went to hook up my intercooler but the throttle bodies are too close together to get my vibrant couplers and clamps on, anyone found a solution for this? Anyone found thinner wall couplers?

I think mine are not silicone based, but high temp tolerant reinforced rubber.

See photo.

Do you remember where you got them?

Sorry, no. And I live in Finland :)

I'd try hydraulic hose shops or something similar industrial stuff.

I ordered some mishimoto couplers that are .5mm thinner... hopefully thats enough!

It wasn't. Still had to file down the inside edges of the throttle body a bunch and trim the couplers a bit.

Going to explore some other options down the road.
