I have a Accufab plenum with PP 75mm TB.
imho, all these people that complain about the PP tb are just complainers. It's a great TB, it looks excellent, and flows just as well as any other 75mm throttle body..you'll need some lube and patience to get the throttle cable in, thats the only problem..hey, if you save 100 bucks its worth it. The thing is every throttle body is crap..i truly believe that. FRPP doesnt flow too well on the bench test, PP doesnt like throttle cables, Accufabs cause rev hang on some applications, MAC like to leak, BBK is noisy junk, porting doesnt yield good results..take your pick.
I will however tell you to stay away from the PP plenum, as well as the trickflow plenum. They are both the same design and are proven to flow poorer then every other plenum on the market...not by much, probably a 2 HP loss, but still..if your going to spend the money get something you'll like.

i have the pp tb and love it not a problem with it yet and has been on for over 6 months
and to get the throttle cable in take a small round file and clean out the hole a little bit.

I have one I dont think it's bad, I have heard about the throttle cable thing before. I didn't have to modify mine ,but I did have to work fairly hard to get the throttle cable attached.

i got the PP 70mm TB...really the only prob was the throttle cable pin, where it goes in had to be drilled out a bit, and where the cruise control snaps on that didnt go on very well but i used some pliers and got it on, but very minimal problems for the price, and it works great
