Default Throttle Body Suggestions....

Does anyone know where I can get an Ericks 70mm throttle body? Or does anyone have any other suggestions on what throttle body to buy for my turbo EF?

Oh yeah...B18C, 60-1 turbo, Speedpro, Approx 500whp when done.

Jason

with a bit of machine work ie. adapter plate you can use a mustang TB, they come in a million sizes, go to any domestic speedshop and get a used one, mine was 20 bucks

oh allright, sorry, i do things a little different Sheetmetal IM, 1 all tps are three wire splice into your harness, 2) map source can be taken off any manifold vaccuum source, i use a GM MAP sensor anyway, if you are boosted are you just using check valves???

Why are import parts so ridiculously priced? I'm tired of it! TB shouldn't cost that much, especially theres. Oh well, just wanted to rant.

I like the ERicks, but I dont think that I can front that cash. I think that I am going to stick it out until the speedpro goes on, then I will prolly get a mustang TB.

Thanks
