Default o5 gt throttle body

Does anybody out there have a after market throttle body available for the 05? BBK advertises theirs but it wont be ready till december. The mags show these things like they are ready when it may be months before they hit the market.

The magazines also tell you that the computer automatically compensates for the increased airflow....NOT!! You will need a new tune after installing it, since you will probably be using a CAI in front.

ya know, i saw that in the magazine also. what a bunch of crap. they put parts on run the car on the dyno and are like we got 10 hp out of this part and did no tuning. sorry guys, i have spent way too much money. i know you cant open and close the hood on these cars without going back into the computer. thats why i take everything the mags print with a bit of skepticism. i think they are trying to sell parts. and whats up with bbk. they have been advertising that tb for months now. the last time i called they said it would be mid sept before it was ready.

Don't buy the motoblue TB. I ordered one from RPM and they said it was in stock. After they didn't ship it I called and the support told me they recalled them. I got credit for the TB.

Did they say why the TB's were recalled?

Supposedly the gears that the electronic motor for the throttle connect to were binding up and the throttle body would get stuck.

Interesting. I wonder if the same issue was causing my CCM TB to throw TB stuck open codes.
