No it will not fit. You should port and polish a stocker........ If you don't do it youself a P&P job should be in the $60 range......

You do NOT port the area around the blade. If you open it up and it doesn't seal correctly, then you just ruined a TB. Basically you are trying to smooth the area where the air is coming into the TB. Not actually making it bigger.

I havent done it myself, but with everything you should take your time. People do it all the time around here themselves for a free mod, some see gains, others just report better throttle response. ive never seen data on it back to back. If you are worried about messing it up, there are 2 options:
1-find a write up (theres 1 for almsot anything on this site if you serach good enough)
2- pay for it ($50 is the norm here, good hp/$)
