Suggestion
If you need a run from the MAF to the throttle body you can make it yourself with silicone bends and a length of Ali tube with some jubilee clips.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If you install a IPD plenum do you need to install a 74 MM TB to match the IPD plenum?

POST 2Original post

I was watching a video today, cant say for sure but I would say has to have the matching throttle-body. The whole purpose of the larger plenum is to install a larger throttle body. Anyway might try the IPD sight.

POST 3Original post

The stock throttle body will no longer fit. Depending on the model you buy it will take a 74mm or larger.

POST 5Original post

If you're going to spring for an IPD plenum, you might as well get a 74mm TB. Not very expensive on eBay.

What is your plan to do that?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 618103

pretty much settles it; upgrade to ipd requires a larger TB

POST 8Original post

74? go for 82. before you go IPD, take a look at Ben's solution. i have one of his 3D printed prototypes installed on my 996, and absolutly loves it. http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/55966-intake-plenum-911-throttle-body.html cant wait to get my dirty fingers on that new and shiny CF plenum. :dance:

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 618318

How does Ben's solution compare to a 74 or 82 TB?

POST 10Original post

Quotes source post: 618349

Hard to beat the price of the 997 distribution tee with the 996 throttle body. I have both in the garage but have to source the silicone boots to mate the 997 tee to the 986 intake manifolds. I also bought IPD's RIDICULOUSLY pricey silicone intake hose to run to the throttle body. I just haven't taken the time to do the install yet.

If you need a run from the MAF to the throttle body you can make it yourself with silicone bends and a length of Ali tube with some jubilee clips.
