Default has this throttle body been worked on?

I honestly can't tell if this has already had work done to it. (ported/bump stop mod)
It seems to open the full 90 degrees, but i can't really tell, I've never seen a stock/vs worked on one. i was going to send it out to newera performance, but im not sure if it needs it.

Looks stock. Can you take a better pic of the bumpstop to confirm?

Also, hole in blade should be 5/32" IIRC.

It's the part of the TB that touches the lever (1/2-moon shaped piece that the cable is attached to) when it is at WOT.

It's takes 15 min to pull the hose out and spray your **** down a bit and dry it off.

alright, well to those who have nice engine bays, you'll know a hose does not do much of anything agianst engine grease/oil. just removes a little dust/dirt, and honestly doesn't clean much.

i guess you missed the fact i've been at school? and now that i'm home, the instant i take water to the engine, it will freeze. i'll clean it when its possible
thank you though! :]

i had to look at a few pictures of one of my own stock throttle bodies, but i'm pretty damned sure it isn't ported.

here's another guy's picture of a ported tb next to a stock tb for reference.
