Default BBK 80mm TB

I just wanted to get your guy's opinions on the this TB. I have searched and really haven't found anything. I wanted to know if there is any gains over the ported stocker?

Very little gains if any. Not worth the money for performance.

it is a piece of ****. do not buy it. I had the worst time with the blade sticking and then if your car doesn't need all the vacuum that the screw hole lets in, you can't buy a blank one to drill your own hole in from bbk. Their customer service sucks and so does that product. STAY AWAY STAY AWAY STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about the 80 but I have the 85 and it is pretty nice and no sticking.But for the gains vs cost the 80 would not be worth it.

Well that a whole lot of negativity! I have one, and have no complaints, however i picked it up to match their intake manifold. Never had any "blade" issues, only complaint with it is the spring is either much heavier or not worn down so pedal is harder to push. Looks sick, no issues with connections or sensors. Nicely made piece. Looks nicer when you take some metal polish to it and then she shines!
