Thanks for chiming in Stephen. Now it get's slightly complicated - I am on SiToA 2.8.0 so I don't know where it fits in here.
I am actually using a tbb.dll that Erik Mootz provided with emFluid5 for it to work alongside SiToA. Would tbb.dll and tbb42.dll conflict? I can of course just try your method and see what happens.
