well ive never had it, but almost everyone exaggerates on ebay, so dont think the whole thing's a scam cause he said it adds 20 hp when really its liek 10 or even 15

not much to do abotu it now, as long as u get it put it on and if it doesnt fuck up ur car dont worry about it

Re: this tb any good???

to bad there wasn't any air flow numbers to see how much more cfm this thing flows than stock. as for the porting and polishing this something anyone can do with a drill and a brillo pad type material. it would have been better if it was bored out and had a larger throttle plate installed, then i could see it having some bigger hp numbers, but thats if your engine required more air. if your engine has a bigger cam or if you bored out the engine then i could see the need to get a larger tb.
my opinion is that it's all "shock an awe" this tb has a nice spit shine but there's no way 20 horses galloped out of it. i removed that tb screen and seen an increase of 2-3hp and that was pretty restrictive.

Re: this tb any good???

i just found out today that my uncle can do stuff like boreing out. he is a collecter of antiques, and he has a old machine in his basement that can do work like that. i think i will have him bore it out to about 68mm like the zzp one is, but where do i get that brass plate in a bigger than stock size????
