Default Sweedish Plenum Trouble.

Hey guys, I have bought this sweedish plenum, it was one from rush engineering. Anyway I have a genuine rs500 cooler and am having a big problem trying to pipe it up.Ill get some pics in a bit, but the cooler is much lower than the plenum and throttle body. I have the usual piece of samco hose with the dump valve but It won't fit, its been cut up lots, but the main problem being the damn heigh difference, The rs500 cooler could only come up like 10mm at max because above the mount is a thick rubber washer. This isn't enough to help.

What have you guys done when installing these plenums???! Its a pain in the ass cos I want my car back on the road. I have seen like an angled piece welded from the throttle body before. Any advice would be great!

Ahh ok mate, actually the one I need is the 75 to 63 mm throttle body one, that is the 75 75. I am running the standard throttle body thats why. But thanks for the advice for the rubber bush. I will take that out 2mo and move it up.
