looking to get one as well, saw that magnus recommends them to go with their manifolds so thats a plus. being that you can get a stock TB ported to 65, i dont know how big you can open up the hole in the manifold but i would say the 68mm would be your best bet. im going with the 74mm most likely since its going on a magnus v5. where are you buying it from?

I just bought one from extremepsi and price was good!

I think 65mm is the max you could use on the stocker. I bought a 70mm and I bought a skunk2 IM, so I am gonna have it ported.

Ok seems like alot of guys are running 70mm throttle bodies on their cars. I plan on staying stock snd its cheaper than the ported version.

Would I need a bigger coupler? Currently have a 2.75 to a 2.50 for my short route

If you don't get an answer I can check when I get home.

I think it is kind of pointless to put a 70mm TB on an IM that is OEM size. You really want to match the TB with the inlet size on manifold. The Curt Brown IM isn't a lot and they offer a 70mm flange.
Don't know what your mods are but a BR ported TB and IM would be good and both are 65mm.
Actually I have a BR ported IM coming off my car by the end of the week if you are interested.

I had a very hard time getting one to seal properly on a customers car. Ended having a thicker custom gasket made. Other than that it was a good quality piece

It's a royal pain in the *** getting a 74mm s90 to seal properly on a stock manifold unless it has a larger flange welded to it. When you port the stock IM to 65mm there isn't much material left on it. I personally run a 74mm s90 on a heavily ported skunk2 manifold. I use a 3" to 2.5" reducer for the TB/uicp connection.

I just bought the 70mm s90 throttle body,

im also looking into a ported manifold, everything should bolt up, I just didnt want to spend $300 on a stock throttle body proted to 65mm, when I can buy a 70mm for $249 and will handle my power goals when I build her

V5 comes with a 90mm mustang throttle body pattern and I didnt get the magnus adapter plate to adapt stock throttle body pattern so made my own.
