Default Want to build my own CAI. Need info and details plz!!

Instead of dishing out a ton for already made CAI, i plan to save some dough and build my own.
I have actually sourced a store that sells some real high quality materials to put one together.
I have a question tho...

what is the diameter of the stock throttle body? I have to know this in order to buy the correct rubber couplers, to fit over the t.b.

and one more question...

what do u recommend to do with the computer after removing the stock airbox? Where can u securely relocate the comp with ease?

I do believe 4" tubing with a hose clamp works just fine. Measure it to make sure.

You just need to look for a PCM Tray for our cars, and you mount that with the PCM bolted to it.

If you want, take a look at my pics. I got quite a few of the CAI I made and it only cost me about 60 bucks. Now, its not the prettiest but it works great. I put a chrome pipe inside the stock elbow for more heat resistance and to make the vac line and intake temp sensor to fit better. But youll just have to worry about the intake temp sensor with whatever you go with. You can see in my pics I left half of the airbox in there to hold the PCM and to hold the intake piping in place.
