    So my buddy has a 5.4L and was adding a AFE stage 2. well he is having issues with it, always burning up the rubber 90^ that goes from intake tube to TBI. He was going to switch over to the AirRaid but he accidentally threw out the rubber seal that goes ontop of the TBI. Ford is saying he has to buy the entire intake system just for this rubber seal. Tasca parts doesnt offer it. I had mentioned to him to try some junkyards, but just wanted to see if anyone out there knew of a place to get a new rubber seal w/out having to buy a whole new intake system? Thanks!!!

    yea that seems to be our result too... nothing. Ford wants him to buy everything, box and all, for $150. I'm tryin to talk him into goin around some junkyards but he's lazy so we'll see... thanks brother!

    This might be a shot in the dark but he could buy a cheap CAI from fleabay. It would be paying 150 for the whole setup. I would think that it would come with that boot he needs.

    thanks, but that one doesnt seem to have the OEM rubber seal either... Told my buddy to NEVER throw anything out again. I'll let ya'll know what he ends up doing to remedy this. Thanks!
