I got a PTM throttle body for my fast only because it was cheaper than the fast TB. If you can get a brand new one for $350 snag it up for sure. Ive heard good things about them.

When they first came out the FAST tb's had an issue with the blade sticking. They have since revised it and I haven't heard of anyone complaining. Get it.

I spoke with a rep from fast before I purchased mine. I've had mine on for almost 2 years and no issues at all.
