Default Got Throttle Body Back (Bo White Porting w/ Pics)

I knew people on here said Bo did a good job, but , I wasn't expecting all that. I'm flat out amazed at how smooth this thing is. I'm surprised you let these things get out the door for so cheap. Very nice work Bo. Perfect example of an enthusiast looking out for another enthusiast.

Going to take some cleaner to the outside to clean up the old dull finish so it'll look at least close to as good as what you've done. Going to clean it up Saturday when I've got some time, the install it on the car as well as do the coolant bypass. Will post results then. For now, you guys just get pics...

Note: My camera isn't the best, and my computer here at home sucks, so I cant really tell if the pics are a good representation or not. I'll check them at work tomorrow morning and let you guys know.

Glad ya like it, should be a kick in the pants in the throttle responce department. You can imagine what emails I have had in the last 3 days or so about me quiting. I promise if I can keep doin TBs and heads I will but Im not sure at the moment. BTW, you should see my cylinder head porting

Looked at the pics, justice is barely done. The throttle body is so smooth and the blade is like a mirror. Thanks again Bo, hopefully you'll get back up and running even if you're at a slower pace than last time.

Hey Bo, any tips for the do-it-yourself'ers? I'd much rather have you do it, but I know you're not proting anymore, plus I usually can't afford any downtime on my car so I was going to give it a shot tomorrow.

here is a simple guide to doing it. basically just take off small amounts and move in smooth motions. a dremel will do the trick if thats all you have. gettin' Bo's mirror finish will take a LOT of work tho on the blade. i'd also suggest taking out a little more material around the lip than the guide shows, at least i do on all my tb's i've ported.
