90mm throttle body's tpis is now building 90mm throttle bodys for the fast intake,they are doing a run of c5's now and about 10 are allready spoken for,f body tb's to follow.it was not a big deal to build they were allready making the big oval if you are interested in a throttl body call them so they can do a large enough run.
ps. the word is is that fast is not going to ever offer a c5 90mm version,their engineers said it wouldnt work?

they can not source the parts, so they need the core for the spring pack, and the lever. they said they are trying to get the parts, but can not get them at this time.

A thought: With TBW, the PCM expects a certain amount of airflow per degree of blade opening around and just off idle. With about 44% more area, and even 20% more circumference, my guess is that idle and part throttle operation will be tricky (at best). Is it possible to modify the code in the PCM for the pedal-to-TB interface? My guess is that is fairly well protected.
Even ported stock C5 TBs can have an idle speed problem, which can be annoying on an A4. Fortunately mine is A4-specific porting and drives just like stock. Of course it's not a 90!

Getting the OEM TB vendor(s) to sell the drive parts to the aftermarker is probably a HUGE task.

Since LG has a C5 90mm that is working, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it is possible. A shame FAST can't figure out how to make one. I'm guessing quite a few Vette owners would have been willing to spend the money on this. Oh well at least they can get one from Lou.
