So I am about to order a new JMF intake manifold and I am looking at all these different throttle body's that fit. Such as BBK, Power plus, Q45, Accufab, Stock bored to 63mm and 65mm. I have also heard the newer evo's throttle body's fit is that true? For starters I would like to get a 2 1/2" or bigger throttle body. Not to sound like a ricer but the stock one is ugly, and I don't see a point in paying too bore a stock one that I only use the tps sensor on. Why not buy a better one with the money I am putting towards boreing my stock one. So here is the question which one... Any feed back on any of these aftermarket ones or any other ones?
Thanks
Is it just looks you are concerned with or do you have big power goals?
For one, there is more than just a TPS on the stock TB. The ISC, closed throttle switch, and FIAV are also "attached". If you DD the car in NY ( colder than most areas of the country ) you will regret deleting the ISC, CTW, and ( maybe ) FIAV. You would also need some type of ECU management to overcome the loss of the ISC else live with some idle surge.
Stock 1g intake system is proven fine to 400+ hp. Throw on a 2g elbow, clean up the stocker, and enjoy a much less tempramental whip....

Theres a car on the dsmlink forums that made 850awhp on a stock 2g TB last year. It was the TPG 2G with a 42R.
well i guess TPG gets around, lol. the 2g has actually broken 1000 just to give you and update. huge tb are definently not the answer to power
