got a PTM 90mm tb today Hey I just picked up a PTM 90mm tb today...gonna try it with my new turbos. Looks real nice and is cheaper than the NW or the FAST. Anyone else picked up one of these or am I the only one saving some bucks?
Here are 2 pics I took before i installed it today on the new motor:

Might want to drill that hole out a bit. I went from a ported stock TB (stock hole) to a NW 90 (same hole as the PTM) and it idled like ***. Opened the hole up to 13/64ths and it cranks up and runs like a champ. 
I would shell out the extra bucks on the NW90 simply because Nick Williams is a member of this board and fellow LSx enthusiast, not to mention how proven it is. I'm not sure about the PTM though, they might be US based too?

The PTM 90mm tb is sold by TSP who sponsors this board and are fellow LSX enthusiast.I was told by them that the PTM 90mm tb is built in the USA,when I bought mine.This is just another great product for the fellow members of the LSX community.

its bolted to a ls2 manifold.
you need better tuning....no need to drill tb holes anymore. NW is a nice piece...no doubt. I feel this is just as nice...not as shiny but i'll take the $$$ savings.
Wont bolt to a ls6 intake as its 90mm....bolts to a ls2 or fast 90mm intake.
If TSP sells it, it's gotta be good....they are a first rate shop.

I understand that you can tune it, but that hole is so outrageously small, that you would be overworking the IAC. It can't open/close instantly I don't think. You're giving it a head start with the IAC. MORE air isn't going to make it run worse.
