Depends on year. The newer l61 the 2.2TB bolts right up. If your tb has 5 holes(one is not used at the top left) then its direct fit. If you need to adapter than I'm not sure where to get. I got my as a full kit back then.

incorrect, you still need the adapter plate as it covers around the TB so that the intake mani doesnt leak.

PM me if you need one, I can ship out asap

My 07 didn't need the TB adapter, I think it was only needed on the 05 and 06 2.2's

would be interested to see what changed year to year though...I know you all have a diff tb, but i didnt think it was a bigger bore...so just more material most likely. I know on the 05-06 they bolt holes line up (you have to swap to the non used hole in the one corner) but it leaves an air gap around the tb that air can leak out of so you have to have an adapter plate that seals it.

its a huge upgrade still for the 08 2.2L L61. the 2.2L LAP doesnt benefit from the 2.4l Im

my brake booster hose wasnt long enough to reach (BBH 3/4) the IM so what i did was i got a 7/16 hose put it inside the 3/4 along with some strong glue and a screw clamp and with the connection to the IM for it i muscled the 7/16 hose onto that adaptor for it on the throttle body and again held on with a screw clamp. could that be a reason?
