Throttle body advice Broke the adapter plate bolt to my jegs sheet metal intake made to fit a 102mm throttle body, currently has the factory LQ4 78mm throttle body. Thinking a swap to a FAST 102mm throttle body and I need advice on what throttle body I should use.
I've read on some threads from a few years back that the throttle body blade sticks, the Idle is all over the place on the FAST 102mm, Issues with the IAC ports, TPS sensors going bad, bad airflow for aftermarket cam, battling the tuning for the air flow, Bad throttle response, etc.
Others have said go with Nick Williams. Was wondering if these issues have been fixed since then, If I should just use a Nick Williams or a different 102mm throttle body, how do I tune the aftermarket throttle body or if I should just bring it to a tuner, and if the factory LS wiring harness TPS sensor plug in will work with the aftermarket throttle body. Thank you.

I think NW is regarded as the best. Budget wise, there's a lot of guys that say the WARR throttle bodies are good too but I've not had any first hand experience with them.
I have a NW 102 DBC TB and have been really happy with it.
