So who did that for you? Did you ship them your throttle body after they sent the polished?

Will get you the same gains on a CAI set up as a larger TB (except not have the failing motor issue).





Claim is 13% more air but I don't know at what PSI the flow bench was testing at. In any case, I don't feel bad about the $75.

Excellent job. He also sells them on eBay if he has extra cores laying around.

He had a core laying around so he did one and sent it to me, I paid $125 upfront. I then sent him my old one and he refunded me $50. Would be a great cheap add on for a blown car and should add power.
