Default Yet another TBSS intake question

I am moments away from purchasing a TBSS for my 04 LQ9. Intake has x-link, tb and fuel rails, and hopefully the purge solenoid.

I searched for well over an hour...I get that I will have to run spacers to run my Marine injectors, I will need to move wires, might have to do something with the crossover.

Will my current K&N FIPK fit on the TBSS TB? The only reason I ask is there is not a Autozone or any Real Autoparts store here (that doesnt mainly cater to nissan's and toyota's) So any parts that I need will need to be mail ordered.

If you can think of anything else I missed, let me know.

The marine injectors swap right in. And the outside dia of both TBs are the same so it will swap right over. And since your already returnless your stock fuel line will match right up. Only thing I would recomend is getting about 3ft of 3/8 fuel line to replace the evap line.
here is a pic of my K&N intake and the TBSS intake. The line is the one that was on the old TB that I relocated. I got a 3/8" brass barb, and sealed it with some blue RVT gasket maket to make sure it got a good seal.

If your current throttle body is 78mm and the new intake manifold uses a 90mm, you would either be adapting down from the big throttle body down to the intake tube from the 78mm, or replacing the intake for a larger diameter model that is a direct connection to your new, big-bore throttle body.

I guess I will find out once it arrives. Maybe I can stretch the elbow if need be.

12mm is pretty damn close to a .5 inch difference. Just a heads-up.

I used an airaid NNBS 90mm intake tube (they sell these separate from the kit) which matched the TB perfectly and already had that barb in the intake tube.

That's what I put on mine. Airaid M.I.T. with their oil-free filter in the factory airbox.

The intake tube in my first picture is the same one for my stock intake. No adaptor needed for the tube. Both the 78mm and the 90mm tb have the same outside diameter. The 78mm just has more material around it.
