hold up, now im confused...for some apparent reason (sorry if this is a stupid question) but i was under the impression that the throttlebody was the same as the intake manifold.

i mention this because i was searchin for the throttlebody and it gave a price for the throttle body and the intake manifold?

the throttlebody is bolted on to the intake manifold.

Save your money and buy one from jg.The jdm t/b's run about $500 (at least thats the price i saw).i paid $135 for my jg bored t/b and i was happy but definatly not worth any more.

DragonCTR69>>thanks for the info.. i get what your trying to say, i just have one more question.
would it help me any if i smoothened inside the throttlebody and manifold by polishing? and if i was to do that would i have to reset the ecu or does it just not make enough difference.

It would make a different, but we are talking few poines. Better airflow is always better. It wouldn't hurt anything to reset your ECU, I reset mine every 6 months unless I upgrade a part, then I do it at that time.
