    M50 intake confusion

    I have just received the maf and elbow from an e34 m50, and I知 now trying to get everything connected to my e36 m50. The problem I知 facing is the e34 elbow appears to be way to big and slides well over the throttle body, but the guy who sold it to me included this second throttle body that I think may need to be fitted before the elbow. Does anyone know if this second throttle body is needed (my car is obd1 if that matters)? I知 also curious how I get the idle control valve to fit, because I currently have it connected to the back of the intake manifold but I知 not sure where the other end is supposed to connect. Any advice I壇 appreciated, thanks in advance.

    trash the second throttle body, that is probably just for traction control. get a throttle body elbow from an obd1 e36. the ICV goes from under intake to the underside of the throttle body elbow. use realoem.com to find the parts you need. everything is from an obd1 e36.
