does airfoil work w/ 52mm tb??

i just bought one from tpis and it just doesnt seem to fit right. First the little cone that it screws into doesnt even go all the way into the top of tb and second it just doesnt seem to fit as snug as it should. Has anybody else had tis problem before with tpis? Any hlp is appreciated thx.

I imagine the TPIS air foil is ment to be used with either the stock or an aftermarket TPIS throttle body. If you buy one the TPIS throttle bodies, they come with an airfoil installed. The 52mm TB runs for like $280 and the 58mm for like $350, I think.
