Default WR SW with AlfaWerks TB?

So my question is this: I'm getting the Weapon-R Secret Weapon intake. If i decide to get the AlfaWerks Throttle Body later on down the road, what kind of adjustments would i have to make? would i need some kind of adapter?

It is dependant on the outer diameter of the new TB. Our reducer will stretch up to 2.75". Larger than that you will need a new straight 3" coupler.

60mm is the inner diameter, you will need to know the outer diameter.

well I think 60mm~2 inches so it shouldn't be a problem fitting the adapter if it goes up to 2.75 inches which is like, 82.5mm I think so it should not be a problem

60mm is the diameter of the INSIDE of the TB, and has nothing to do with the outside of the TB, where the coupler actually clamps onto.

Anyways though, it should be the same as stock, since they require a core exchange, it's just a bored out stock TB.

alpha werks will most likely not be producing it because it did not make much power at all.
