special airfoil for 58mm tb's?

My 58mm tb didn't come with the air foil. I was wondering if there are special airfoils for the 58mm tb's or if the airfoil on my current 52mm tb will work.

Thanks

you dont need one, think of it as its built into the throttle body.

I have an edelbrock TB. That BBK TB you pictured, is that considered an airfoil?

what the air foil was doing was just smoothing the transition to the blades. as you can see this one is already smooth.
