BBK or Port my TB

I was curious to see what everyone thought. I was planning to get the BBK TB but I've heard that they aren't all that and that you're better off just getting a ported TB. What do you think. I would like some feedback from some that have the BBK.

Get the MTI one if you are considering the BBK. Its much nicer, and a better quality, and the same price.

Go with the ported stock unit. I really like my 80mm BBK but the only reason I have it is because I go it off a wrecked car (someone parting out). Its too exspensive new and it does require some minor clean up (butterfly) to make it work (though once its done it REALLY works
