Why would you pay $170 for it? Haha.

I bought mine for $35. They usually go for like $100 or so on eBay. Either way, the TB isn't the major restriction on this car... you'd be better off spending money on things that will actually make a good different.

Yeah why would you pay $ 170 when you can get it off ZZP's site for $ 99.99 and if you have the money what the hell but if not then just get yours ported thats your best bet.

get one from a junk yard, spacer from OTTPerformance.com

Set your ETC scalar to 4950 and it'll act pretty much just like stock.

People sell the adaptor plates quite regularly on here and some even sell the whole setup tb/adpt plt/coupler. I got my tb from zzp cause my stock one broke and the dealer told me it wasnt under powertrain warranty. Figured I might as well "upgrade".

I wish I could of shopped longer than a few days cause I missed out on the used parts I could of got cheaper.

Remember u have to change the scaler in hpt I never used hpt before and was able to do it in less than 3 mins. Will cost $100 just to unlock ur car for hpt.

First gear is kinda touchy but every other gear is butter smooth in throttle application. No regrets here the only real differance I noticed was and increase in intake sound when goosing throttle.

If the throttle is still jumpy then up the number. My throttle was still jumpy so I think I bumped it to 5200. I only changed it twice then left it was soon as it was smooth. never drove it to test and did it in my driveway.

Yes I know some people will not agree my methods

My throttle isn't jumpy at all. It slowly wanders between about 800-900 rpm at idle, but it doesn't bother me.

You don't need an adapter plate for ****** $70. Lightly port the blower inlet until there is clearance. Free.
