    Throttle body and plenum. technically the throttle body is just the housing for the butterfly valve

    What constitutes a bargain as far as these things go? This?

    Could be, but I think toy might want a 75mm as 70 is standard size, so it would just look nicer.

    Hi Hakan, I would ask Scooter (Brian) on here from Dreadnought about the Acufab.

    I could bring you one out in June, but I guess you will want it before then. I'm sure Brian can ship you one though!!

    Cheers
