Talk to NWAE Cobalt, he's a member on here. Sold his balt but he has a template we made for that adapter plate. My 2.2 had the 2.4 manifold on it and our adapter. I'll mention it to him today, he should have at least one sitting around he could ship off to you. Send him a PM.

Just talked to him, he still has them and can make you one. Probably won't cost much more than shipping. Makes them out of Lexan which works great in this application. Just don't go all gorilla on the TB bolts.

You do not HAVE to have the tune to run the 2.4 intake mani...just the TB. In fact you wont be able to tune till you ge the fitment right.
Im the guy yelloeye was talking about, I actually have a set (gasket and adapter) made if your interested. Shoot me a PM and we can work it out and I can ship to today if you need one.

everything is all plug and play once you get the adapter from me. from everythign youve mentioned so far as long as you have all the gaskets set up on it and all the holes filled with a hose or wire that goes in it youll be good to go!

EPA Fuel Economy 16city/24hwy 19combined
Full tank = 20gal
1 tank before TB cleaning = 350miles
1 tank after TB cleaning = 400miles(rounding up .4miles)
MPG before cleaning = ~17.5
MPG after cleaning = ~20
If he drove all highway miles he should get 480 a tank according to the EPA, now with him filling slow it is allowing him to fill the neck of the fuel filler all the way up to the top. Possibly adding upto 1-2gallons of fuel, EPA says that should equal 48 miles HWY. That's all the sense I can make of it.
