Question Is the NW throttle body supposed to be like this?

I just got my NW throttle body, and the bottom lip of the front of it is slightly bent. Is this for airflow reasons, or did the Fedex company drop the damn thing?

Mine is perfectly round. I am using a drive by wire but I don't see how that is any different than a cable driven one. Looks like FedEx modded your TB.

It had to be damaged in shipping from your supplier. It should be perfectly round. With the boxes I ship them in to the vendors there is no way it was damaged unless UPS hit the box with a hammer or drove the truck over top of it.

Where did you get it from?

I got it from Speed Engineering, but the part was actually shipped from Scoggin-Dickey. It shipped FedEx, and I hate FedEx, so I'll just blame it on them, lol. There is really no telling when the damage occured or who did it.

On a good note, it wasn't bent awfully bad. I just used some robo-grips (great tool) wrapped in a sock to pinch and bend it back to true form.

By the way, this thing looks great! Nice job in designing it!
