you will have to custom make a cold air intake or mod a 93 teg intake and you might want to think of upgrading to a 2.25 catback instead of 3

your going to have to eliminate the whole airbox, and build an intake straight off the carb. good luck, im trying to make one now too.

i would still like to know how u got the intake to stay in place, does it lock to the top of the carb and if so how?

i just made the cup with a crimped bottom, and left the original rubber seal on the carb, and it locks tight.

what do you mean a crimped bottom?

see the little lines on the cup, down at the bottom the metal is bent in/out alternating to make for a tighter seal.
