Actually... i picked one up for about 450ish. If you think about the TPS and MAP sensors alone, that equates to a few hundred bucks. Buying the type-r throttle body and tapering it to 70mm is another couple hundred.
Yes, i know most people wouldnt pay that much because it IS ridiculous but when compared for all new stuff i think its one of spoons most fairly priced pieces.
EDIT: Only issue is a little choppy idle when cold on OBDI motors....

hooked up through a local shop....didnt have to pay tax on it either!! I think regular retail is like 500 as someone else said.

any local machine shop should be able to bore and taper similar to the spoon piece...just make sure the machinist knows about the air/coolant passages so they dont overbore
