i bought a piece of tubing, and a filter from autozone and just put it on the stock hose, and made "mounts" in the stock airbox(it just sits snug in there). also put a little baby filter on the stupid hose that put oil all up in my stock air intake, works/sounds great

I'm pretty sure the 4.0 throttle body goes right on the 2.5L. Get one from the junkyard and bore it out. It tapers down to 55mm at the bottom section, so just bore that and make sure you don't sand anywhere near the butterfly plate. Buff it with a polishing wheel to remove all the dust and it should be perfect. Then toss a CAI on it and it should be a little more peppy.
