The cut in the back of the air foil is tiny. The air hole in the top of the throttle body must be 1000x the size. I don't believe that small cut could be helping the system work. I'll take a picture.

The fresh air looks to be 3/8" and that cut around 1/16". It looks like it could be enlarged quite a bit though.


Odd. The air foils I've used were hollow. I just sold one recently on TGO for a kid running a turbo, and it was hollow on the back side, like a 7/16" or larger channel.

Do you have a picture of the back side of the throttle body?

If I recall, a passage connects that snakes around the bores.

I have not had my hands on a TPI throttle body in some time.
