us s52 +euro s50b32 ITB's, adapter?

[Constantine]

hey guys, does someone know where you can actually get an adapter plate to fit euro s50 itb's onto us s52?...
i know you can machine them or get it from somewhere as a kit, or so?..
what would be a good idea?..


i've see some people had done it, but i cannot find any info of where to get adapters from, or what are the choises?


Thanks,

Constantine

Not sure if there is a source making them. They are usually one off designs AFAIK.

Honestly I don't think it's worth the money and effort to do all this, the gains won't be that huge other than way better throttle response.

Beware about the oil filter housing and booster interference though. You either have to run a euro filter housing or shorten (by cutting and rewelding) the US filter housing, you then have to run a different oil filter IIRC it is the m42 oil filter you use after shortening the housing. Read the links below before you trust any of that, it's been a while since I read upo on this.

It's been done obviously here's some info from BfC:

i've just found this:

i have to see if would be use full for me.

i know i have to have some king of adapter or gasket, which primary use would be to raise ITB's to clear tps sensor and all other stuff. And i'm just thinking where to get that plate from.

thanks for response)!
