Looks like the bore of the new throttlebody was too big for my manifold and caused the doom of my motor.
So all this happened because you decided to install a TB with a larger bore than the intake?
What exactly did you think you were going to gain HP wise... it's not like the larger TB was going to push more air through the small stock intake bore? In fact, the turbulance it would cause would actually DECREASE hp.
