I know some differences in TB between 1 and 2g is size 60vs 52mm. I have 2 spares of each. This is obviously a 1g and I measured it with my veneer and it's 60mm but my question is the 4 ports on top. This one has 3 and the 4th casted there but nothing there.

Question is, can I use this? On my other TB they're all blocked off anyway.

I just plan to clean and rebuild it and block the FIAV

Dont use them!! Apparently they designed for emissions, and i had massive issues using them for a boost/vaccuum. One only produced boost and it was all wierd.

A trusted member told me the emission info, and it solved my fpr and boost issues. So i cant promise the info, but i advise against from using it.

How does one measure with "veneer" ?

That is a throttle body off a naturally aspirated vehicle. AFAIK they work just fine, but replacing the shaft seals is highly recommended.

Sounds like your experience involved using throttle bodies that needed to be rebuilt in the first place. NT shaft seals aren't exactly made to handle boost or probably a lot of boost and would probably explain your issues.
