TB for FI?

Which TB are yall using? Is there really a difference between a ported and a stocker with FI? I have a ported 78mm stocker, but now with FI, Ive blown 3 holes in it so far

I have a home ported stock one, no problems with it. How are you blowing holes in yours?

Its ported to where its like 80mm. That creates holes since you cant port a stocker that par and it was epoxied and Im blowing all the epoxy out.

I guess it was designed to work with NA not forced induction.

I would just get a stock one and put it on. There are usally several in the FS section for cheap. You could do a home port job on the stocker.
