now what if the TB were spaced further from the IM, and a conical shaped "difuser" similar to the one on the tip of the stock SVT air filter were attached to the back of the IM to allow air to more smoothly make the 90 degree turn.
It could be simply milled out of a block of aluminum. Then on its base a aluminum stud threaded in and welded to prevent this block from turning loose and bouncing around in the manifold, and the rear of the intake manifold could be drilled and tapped to accept this stud, instination will be just thread it into the IM through the TB opening and then the stud wlelded on the outside to seal.
