Whipple throttlebody elbow help
I need to change the throttlebody elbow on my whipple kit I am installing. The kit is a dual belt setup from a 2000 5.3 tahoe that will be installed on my 03 Yukon Denali. I called whipple today and they said that they no longer sell the elbow I need. What have others done to get around this problem? Whipple suggested having a custom one made. What type of shop could make this? Does anyone have an idea of what it might cost to have a custom one made?
Also is whipple the only place to buy new pulleys from?

I am looking for the end housing of the compressor. The problem I was told is that whats on the compressor now sticks out to far and will hit the firewall.

I ran the same style kit on my 03 Tahoe. I did two things to make it fit: I elongated the bolt holes on the TB to allow me to 'clock' the large side down away from the firewall, and I used the big F'n hammer to clearance the firewall enough that the TB plug didn't make contact. Other than that, everything fit like a charm. My Tahoe is flex fuel, so I was able to use its larger stock injectors and not hook up the whipple computer and extra injectors.

Nice, thats what I was starting to think after looking at where your throttle body bolts up as to where mine will. So this eliminates the problem with clearing the firewall now, right?
