Default Which TB with the Typhoon 96mm?

Which throttle body are you guys running with the 96mm Typhoon intake? Definitely on a budget and would like to get the best setup for the money. Already have the intake and just need to find a throttle body.

Any suggestions?

Don't they offer their own? I got the 85/85 package. Their body was the cheepest I could find. Really like it. Look at their website.

I think they do but I wasn't sure if anyone was having troubles with it. I used to have the FAST 90/90 kit on my old car and the FAST TB sucked soooo bad!

I only have the 85mm body, but the quality is great for the price. The only thing is it will probably come with a couple cable mounts. I had to use a smaller one on mine. Great quality though and really light compared to the stock one.

Oh also if you haven't put it on yet have the inside of the manifold polished. Should be easy since there is a window in the bottom of the manifold. Wish I would have done it.

Did yours leak at all? Everyone keeps on saying the Typhoon is a POS and that it will leak like hell.

No mine has never leaked. I love my typhoon its a great piece. A little heavy, but I wanted to boost mine down the road and no way I was buying a plastic manifold for boost. Mine has never leaked. 2 years and no problems with it. Liked the new fuel rails that came with it too.

So what is the biggest TB that anyone makes? I can't find anything to match up to the 96mm in take. Feels like it kind of defeats the purpose of having such a big intake...
