Keep in mind you also won't need to send your stock core in. I have one and should have it dyno-tested by the end of this week. Watch the boards for my results!

just installed mine, not 100% true bolt on but it is very nice quality.
low end/mid range seems to improve quite abit...in terms of torque, feels like spools alot faster. now, almost back to stock(compared to evo green which i noticed slight lag with HKS intercooler) spool up.
will dyno soon, still tunning in for idle...

Didn't you have to port the IM out to fit this?

i've got one here about to go on a car. it actually does measure 68mm and is a very nice peice. typical "65mm" throttle bodies which are stock ones bored out don't actually measure 65... mil.spec measured 64mm, and the RC engineering one measured 63mm. mil.spec was a ton nicer then the RC engineering one though. i'll know the porting that needs to be done to the intake manifold tomorrow.

I'll be mounting mine to a magnus V5 IM and had a machine shop port match the reducer bracket to perfectly match the TB. Can't wait to get this installed.

i had to trim with dremel on the TPS. i would not go in. luckly, i had two throttle body with sensors, i broke the 1st TPS, forcing the TPS to the location, but second one, i took time and trimmed a bit and went it OK.

Mine is at Milspec now along with a fresh stock intake manifold. I went over the IM with Aby and he is going to port the IM to match the TB gasket. Should have some results in a couple weeks since I will do back to back dyno runs of my setup with stock TB/IM v ported im/68mm skunk2 TB

Everything else will remian static
