Anyone out there gamble on the Ebay 102mm CNC TB??
Just wondering if anyone has taken a gamble and purchased the knock off ebay cnc 102mm tb? Likes/Dislikes? It's considerably cheaper than the rest of the 102's and wanted to get some incite good or bad about this piece. It's a 4 bolt pattern and is supposed to bolt directly to the 102 fast intake. Anyone?

I've got one for sale. I bought it because of the cost. It bolts right up and looks great. I've heard about little issues like the TPS hole needing to be opened up a bit but that really seems to be it.
For my unit I made sure i got the one I wanted. I went to the shop and they gave me one that I wasn't crazy about.... the blade rubbed on the body and kinda stuck. I asked for another and the next one was AWESOME!!
The only thing I didn't get from them was the mounting bolts. I found those locally at a specialty store.
I have never actually run the TB but it really looks good. It even has the rise in front just like the FAST unit to slow air flow.

I know that now that you cleared the air between the godspeed and the ebay one are the same but, in the last post i meant doesn't the godspeed 102 TB look exactly like the actual FAST 102 TB that's also sold on ebay? Comparing the 2 it appears to be the exact same piece but with FAST Big Mouth stamped on the top. Sorry for the confusion with my question. Considering that it looks identical all the way down to the same bolts and idle screw i would assume that guys haven't had very good experiences with the FAST 102 TB's either?

The only other thing that seems different is the size of the word" BIG MOUTH 102". and it doesn't have "FAST" etched in the top.
EDIT* - But be careful, the TB I bought was the second one I looked at. The blade on the 1st one rubbed pretty good against the mouth of the TB. The one I got was nice and smooth and didn't rub anywhere.... So you might want to be picky if you're ordering one from them. Now, I just need to sell mine.

I hate God Speed and all these other chinese junks they sell to us, i bought a set of stainless steel longtubes from them, I wish i didnt cheap out and payed the extra grand for some ARH... I dont trust them or any other Ebay sellers selling these junks. Just pay the extra coin and get it done the right way...

Ooooohhhhhh, gotcha. Well, when I went down to the company (Godspeed) I asked the same exact question... is this an EXACT copy of the FAST but for less $$? He said yes. They basically just reversed engineered their TB's to a 90% design off of the FAST. He also told me that the only things that were slightly different were the tube on the top and the TPS hole. He told me it might need to be "opened up a bit".
