Default Black Anodized NW TB Pics

Thunder is the only one I could find that sold them. I never found any pics of anyone else that has one.

Looks bad ***.

Should be slapping this bad boy on this weekend. :yup:





Intake was ported by a local here in DFW. His User name is xfactor_pitbulls . He did a great job on it.

Not sure on the brand of the power ring. Was told it was TNT. Fitment was descent. A little loose. I wraped a couple layers of tape around the TB to make it fit more snug. I got the P.R. dirt cheap so it didn't bother me.

Right now I'm at a 150 shot, but might go up.

That's what i was thinking! I can see if you are painting the intake black as well, but it sorta sticks out if not. I love the billet look.

Plus, anodizing can scratch off, while if you scratch off a billet surface, you just get more billet

I think it looks great, and i hope you paint the intake black to match, maby do the FAST on it in the color of your car or somthing. That would be

Did your NW come with about a 1/4" hole drilled in the blade... OR anyone for that matter?

I got my new 90mm today and was very surprised to see the hole, kinda thought they would leave it up to you to drill or not to drill.

Just wondering....if I got a used one or what

Intake/TB looks great! I painted my intake like that only in orange. It was a mother f'er to get it to look good.

My TB should have come with a .125 hole. Why is everyone so against drilling a hole anyway? You can only open the blade so much before you have problems. I tell everyone to drill the hole to get the IAC counts under 100 and then fine adjust with the set screw.
