Where are you located? A guy in my club does them for $75 and that includes shipping it back to you.

*not a sponsor.

Do it yourself...nothing to it....I used the guide wilwaxu posted...Well worth it...It's cheaper to do it yourself and you can pick and choose how you want to do it ie epoxy, half shaft, etc

What's it cost to become a sponsor? I have ported my own throttle body and a member on here from the west coast as well. I think they turned out great, dyno results coming soon
