Default Ebay Throttle bodies?

Has anyone bought one of these or had any experience with these. It's a 80mm power? throttle body from blue oval.

Here's what I got outta Godspeed as of April 24th-

Dear advan_racing,

Quick question.... There were some guys on ls1tech ordering these since its MUCH cheaper than a Nick Williams or a FAST throttle body, and they were having issues getting the sensors to fit in correctly. Has this been resolved? I really dont want to have to take a dremel to a brand new TB. Have any of YOU giuys tried to install it yet? Apparently it's a machining flaw. Didn't know if it had been revised yet.

Thanks,

dr_whigham

RESPONSE-

hi

theres still a fitment issue on the sensor

Not the EXACT same TB you're talking about, but a few guys tried them and had to modify them quite a bit.
