I believe their all custom...they do occasionally pop up for sale in the classifieds though....and where'd you get the TB done at? isn't it something that can be done at home for even cheaper??

fly by wire cars are a pain in the *** to remove the shaft. IMO just cleaning the bore up isn't enough, you need to trim the shaft to get max gains out of this mod. the best bet is get a vendor to port a tb and a intake for $350ish plus cores. thats were the cheap power is

thanks it was pretty easy actually i just made a cardboard prototype and then translated it to that to some ABS PLASTIC
you can find that stuff anywhere I got mine off of ebay. But yeah it took me a few tries but just buy a 12x12 piece and you can mess up a few times.

for the record though if you have a bottle heater and opener and purge you will have to cut out the back of the tray and probebly wont be able to fold it up.

and i would soder your connections either way if you plan on folding the tray up

all the switches can be bought at autozone and actuall match the blue and red on out climate control

here ya go http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ABS-P...spagenameZWDVW
