Yes I do. I currently run the Galant V6/Endeavor TB 63mm. The Galant Ralliart and Eclipse GT have the same TB (65mm). I know some guys want to run the 65mm TB, but I measured our inlet with a digital vernier caliper....it's 63mm on the dot....same as the Endeavor TB. Go with that and you will be fine.

My ported IM is going to have 65mm plenum, the TB is an endeavor 63mm inlet but bored/tapered out to 65mm on the intake side. Should be interesting to see what happens once it pops up in the mail haha.

Ok, Thanks for all your help guys! Right now I have an UDP in my backseat, I think I'm going to get the RRM Timing Box right now. Come closer to summer, I think I'm going to get the Endeavor Throttle Body. Once I get the Throttle Body after the Timing box, I'm going to put all three parts on at the same time, so hopefully I will feel some gains.

If you are short on cash, I would suggest foregoing the Timing Box for now since it will require you to run mid-grade (89 octane). You would benefit more with the UDP and TB since you can still run 87 octane. Now if you can shell out the extra cash at the pump, then the Timing Box is well worth it.
Where abouts do you live in Wisco? I'm in Milwaukee.

I figured I should just get the timing box as I'm getting it used for cheaper than RRM new. The gas prices don't really bother me, I just don't have the extra cash for the throttle body all at once at the moment. I received a ticket in the mail, because I didn't fully stop when a police officer was passing me with his lights on. I know I'll regret not getting the timing box for a good price.

Oh and I didn't see your question about where I am. I'm in Appleton, but I come down by Milwaukee occasionally, I was born in Racine and all my family is down there.

Velo, if you can find a shop that can custom make you a downpipe you would be just fine. OEM header is pretty bad ***.
I currently run the RRM timing box, UDP and SRI on my car. The Timing Box was very noticable as was the UDP. My next upgrades will be an exhaust header and Galant TB.
