Default Best 90mm TB FAST or TPIS

About to pick up a fast 90mm intake. Just wanted to know what the best 90mm TB was to go along with it.

Their 90mm TB would probably be the best one.

TPIS.

FAST 90s stick open. The work around is to buy extra springs or drill holes or perform voodoo on it for it to work. Unacceptable for a $500 Throttle-Body.

My vote is for TPIS they have great customer service, I haven't heard of anyone running the Nick Willam's TB yet so I'm not sure about that one.

I've had both the FAST and TPIS on my car, and I can tell you that the TPIS is MUCH better. Spend the few extra $$$ and get a TPIS, you wont regret it.

Alot of people just seem to be to lazy to fix the problems. It does suck that you have to do it, but come on. It's been a problem for how long now? Just do the fixes to the FAST and save the $100 and core TB.

I feel that I shouldn't have to "fix" something I just spent over 400 bucks on that is advertised as "the FIXED version". If they cant stand behind their product enough to sell it already fixed, I don't want it.

As far as I know, FAST has never fixed the throttle shaft problem. From the things I hear, TPIS has the same problems with theirs sometimes. If your going to have to fix either, you might as well save money and the core. Fixing the FAST is easy and worth the saved money. I'll spend 15 minutes to save $100, but to each his own.

Fast did fix the throttle shaft problem, I was about to send them mine back to fix it but was able to get it on my own, its a nice TB and the folks at FAST have pretty good customer service and did not give me any **** about sending my TB to them to have it fixed.
