Got mine today, impressive piece for the price. Its closer to 72mm than it is 70mm. It also requires a 3" to 2.5" coupler to mate up with stock sized intercooler pipes (most kits out there). I will have a before and after dyno with the addition of a MAP Rev2 intake manifold as soon as they are done.

Correct, after I took the picture I was feeling the inside of the the throttle body and noticed a very gradual taper to the inside. Once MAP gets my intake manifold done i'll post the results here although it will be with the addition of the manifold + throttle body.

Yes, you would need to add material to the OEM manifold to properly use any TB over ~67mm. It looks like a very nice piece, but this is something to consider if you're using an OEM manifold. If you're using an aftermarket piece, this should not be a concern at all

Got my manifold back from MAP, they did an awesome job and did pretty well at welding the cast aluminum. I will be powdercoating the intake manifold to hide the scars. Dyno results in a week in a half hopefully!

Took these for you, sorry they are phone pics. The throttle body isn't fully bolted down so its not lined up perfectly for the pics.

Meh, figured satin black 900 degree caliper paint will work.

I just got my car running yesterday but now I am having misfire issues at peak torque. The car idles an drives beautifully with this throttle body. My plugs should be in Wednesday, if misfire issue is fixed dyno around then too.
