Use a B series. Bolt on, cheap, and from what I hear, reasonable gains to be found. I have yet to put my GSR TB on my Z6... so i can't report directly any gains that might be had.

ME? The throttle body of course. The intake manifold would certainly not be a bolt on affair.

Have you bothered to spend the 3 seconds it takes to search? ummmm, no... If I told him he should get one, wouldn't you think that perhaps it fits?
