Man, i can remember lots of horror stories on that, do a quick search, try eBay throttle body or eBay 90mm throttle body.

I can remember a few folks having to do some machine work and other crap. Even more then the stuff mentioned in your link

Not a matter of the best, nothing fits IAC TPS, and the IAC passage is garbage. If you can not afford a proper TB keep the stock one on the car. If your time is worth nothing then by all means buy it work on it for a couple days and the take a couple more days to tune the POS.

There are little subtlety that separate high quality parts from the cheap copy's.
The Chinese person that copied the good part to make that one don't know his butt from a hole in the ground about TB's.

A stock TB's won't make or break your project.
That is the easiest part on the car to change, be patient and save your money for a good TB or keep a look out in the classifieds for a name brand used one.

I bought one a long time ago, thinking I'd try it, and it was a peice of crap. Nothing fit, and when I massaged things to get them to fit, I couldn't get the car tuned at all. IAC was having issues, the blade was either or leaking, or both.

In the end, I returned it and spent the money on a Holley or Fast, I forget which one, and it was worth every penny.

Sometimes you really do get what you pay for, and this is one of those cases.

I suppose they look kinda cool. But if your going with boost anyway it's pretty pointless for most street/strip turbo builds. The OE TB will support over 1000whp without an issue. If you plan on more than that, an ebay budget won't get you there anyway. May want to throw some sort of bead on it as well. charge coupling will slip right off that.

Just my opinion. Good luck with it!

I hear what you guys are sayin and i appreciate it and agree as well. For me,i dont even have a stock one,i'm starting from scratch (swap build) and i need to run an LS2 cable style setup because of the efi system i got. LS2 intake is on the way and ill get tps and iac and see how they fit. If this thing gives me too much **** ill send it back... because my time is valuable.

Got one on mine, works good. Only thing I had to do was enlarge the bottom two holes that bolt up to the intake. IAC and TPS bolted up fine.
