Tonight I'm bolting an accufab 75mm TB onto my Dragon plenum. It's on there but when I try to open the throttle, the vane or "door" inside the TB is hitting on the inside lip of the dragon plenum and it won't open hardly at all.

I know this combo is being used--what am I doing wrong?

Are you sure that Dragon sent you their 75 mm plenum?

I hooked up the Accufab 75 mm throttle body to the Dragon 75 mm plenum without any problems. I ended up exchanging the Dragon plenum for an Accufab plenum because the internal divider in the Dragon produced an annoying whistle when I accelerated.

Did you buy it straight from Dragon Performance? By looking at that I would think you were sent the 65mm version of the Plenum. There is a 65mm and a 75mm version (70mm is discontinued to my knowledge). Might want to measure the opening and let us know.
