Skunk2 68mm Throttle Body?

Has anyone tested/seen this yet? I've never seen this or heard of this before, but it looks like quality. I would like to see how this stacks up against the ported TB's that are usually 65mm (Buschur where are you? lol) . I want to here some input on this guy, here's the link check it out......

I actually just saw the video on that page on how it's made, and they said it's a 66mm. WTF I swear the people on Ebay are such douches sometimes. It still looks like a nice piece. Kaymin how much power did you pick up with it, how's throttle response and such?

Did you do a boost leak test? Maybe S2Kracka's was a "faulty" one.. Who knows..

Actually I searched buddy. Here's what came up https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/se...10347184&pp=25. So next time try actually posting something useful. I found NOTHING with any test results, or dynos, and if YOU can find it since my search yielded nothing of the sort, then POST UP.

Cause I just picked up a set of brand new set of KELFORD's still in the box, individual wrappers and all off a guy for $490 . Just figured since I lucked out with that, maybe I might stumble upon another super sweet deal haha. As you can see the only Ebay part on my car is the 02 housing (which I might add is also the ones used by Buschur).

S2Kracka was associated with MAP when he did their new V3 Intake and they switched out the Skunk 2 TB for the Milspec.. so I'm not sure if they sell it anymore.. but feel free to PM them..

Only saw the post about someone having a bad leak that you wrote about a few posts ago.

I need to see dyno numbers, maybe possible flow bench numbers on different mani's to see how it compares to other throttle bodies.
