Professional Products sells very nice, affordable replacement throttle bodies for type-r's in 68mm & 70mm. They look stock 7 have a very nice build quality. There was a thread reviewing them not too long ago. I bought one, but don't have my head back together yet, others who've tried them have had good luck with them. Mine cost $160 for a TB that is 68mm at the butterfly (tapers out to 70mm opening).

There is no "best" throttle body, just the one that works best for <U>your</U> engine mods, <U>your</U> desired powerband location and <U>your</U> peak whp goal. Develop a plan for your car, an "end game" when you will consider it done, don't lego build your engine.

butt dyno told me my spoon tb install was a nice power adder (albeit small) on a completely stock ITR (stock intake with K&N drop in, stock header, stock exhaust, etc...).

There's my Spoon Sports TB. It's simply the best throttle body ever made. I wouldn't spend over $250 on it though, just pray for someone to sell it on eBay. I got mine for only $150 shipped!
