I grabbed a TB from a 93 Q45 with the VH45DE engine yesterday. The thing is, it looks a little different than other Q45 TB's that I've seen. A buddy of mine mentioned that it may have came from a car with traction control as they are different which I'm assuming is what I have. Question is, can it still fit on the 4G63, with the correct intake manifold of course? I was going to try to sell it but didn't want to mislead anyone. Here are some pics. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My understanding is that any 90-96 will work, this one is from a 93. I looked at some pics on cardomain and some look like this and some don't have the elbow on the front.

That wont do us mitsu guys any good. We use the ones without traction control.

IIRC the traction control models have two throttle plates, but it might be that huge motor on the side? To answer your question though my Q45 throttlebody doesn't have an elbow like that or 50lbs of electronics stuck to it.
