Default DO NOT BUY professional products 101mm TB

Its a complete piece of garbage.The fitment is terrible,the tps sensor they sent with it didnt work,it wont stay closed when the engine runs,it feels like there is no return spring.It has some stupid blade reversale mechanism.The blade itself is thick but made out of the lightest aluminum i have ever seen,feels like the blade is made of plastic.And the holes for the iac motor screws are not in the right spots.Oh and i almost forgot,your throttle cable wont be long enough,and there is no bracket for it.I call pro products to see what the deal is with the cable not reaching and he said oh yeah it wont reach,sorry,and we dont have a bracket or any solution for you. WTF??

I cant name one good thing about it.Gotta stick with nick williams.This was for a buddies car,i cant even start tuning it with this throttle body.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Ya I remember like 5 years ago when I was at newera and saw the 1st intake/TB /fuel rail setup. Didn't really like it looking over it, and the farther I went to install it the more a POS it was. Desided me, the shop and customer were not being happy with how it was going to end up. And didn't use any of it, (didn't charge the 2 hours labor)
And then tried to avoid working with that stuff again. But some people say are happy with it? I don't think they know any better, how good stuff is, fit and finish.
And rigging everything to "work" thats going to be a issue down to road.
But that happens alot,
you get what you pay for

Yes, yes, yes! I bought a 101 PP tb, and it moved the throttle bracket cam to a spot that wouldn't allow the tb to close, AND it interfered with the fuel rail!!! How the hell did they decide ANY of that crap was right?!?

We just ran into this issue. The IAC holes don't align and the cable doesn't reach.

The guy on the phone from professional products was basically saying its because we have a FAST 102 intake manifold... well what other intake manifold would we be putting this thing on?
