They seem like they would work well. They have a dual rail throttle plate bracket which is good. But for the price they are charging you can go get a Wilson, BBK, Accufab for cheaper. I really like the Wilson TB personally.

the welding on the manifold is horrid, TB looks decent, however i wouldn't make a 400 dollar expletive up.

What could go wrong? Order it and find out.

You have a lot of great mods, why would you consider this unless it's a time tested & proven product?

would using a 70mm be overkill for most evo owners on here? meaning, the people on stock and fp green turbos, maybe even the 50 trim guys? i'm sure it would be required to port out your stock manifold to 70mm to see the potential of this throttle body. maybe mr. buschur could test this for us if not, who's gonna be the guiney pig?

I bet you'll have a boost leak with that TB and never find replacement parts. So yeah, good luck.

PS. Looks pretty though, so after it doesn't work, it can be used as a paper weight!

ive used KU engineering throttle bodies on various 2JZ and RB series applications.. some pushing more than 1000WHP.. no problems whatsoever...

go with it... u have my word.. the throttle body is fine!!
