I'd also like to know if theres any decent difference. The TSX tb at wholesale is about 150 cheaper than this.

For $600+ I would certainly like to know what kinds of gains I would be looking at.

Would an aftermarket TB affect the cruise control capability of our cars?

no it should not! the cost out ways any peformance gain from the TSX TB. acording to john @ hightech. he said that it's not worth the $ for what little bit you get if anything and you could lose low and mid range punch unless you were built for more air flow.

AJ's USD prices fluctuate all the time based on the exchange rate. It used to be worth it to order from them. Blame our dollar...

Did you talk to John personally? Because you keep butchering his company's name. It is Hytech.

yes I have spoken with john a number of times. Im sure glad you know who they are know. apparently you learn something here on HT. but as far as butchering hytects name im sure every one that reads high tech / hytech knows what it is. it sounds the same either way you say it. what does talking to someone have to do with spelling something? sorry it bothers you the way I spelled it but if you feel the need to tell john that I spell the co name diff rant sometimes, go ahead im sure he wont lose any sleep over it!

First of all, I didn't learn a damn thing about Hytech on here, that I didn't already know before joining HT.

My point is, you keep talking like you are buddies with John, but I call because you can't even spell his company's name correctly. I bet you've never even spoken to him.

Exactly. If I owned Hytech, and someone was going around reppin' my company, and "quoting" me, I'd definitely want them to pronounce/spell/represent my company correctly.

I couldn't care less what you think of me. I just can't stand fake people (a.k.a. you).

And YOU need to calm down. NOBODY on this website is a "nobody". That's un-called for. They all have a point. If you're going to claim relations with a company or quote them....the least you could do is spell their name correctly.....that way someone doesn't mistakenly look up the wrong company.

For all you know...."Hightech" could be a completely different company that actually exists.

does anybody have any real evidence, either way? i was looking into the tsx throttle body about 6 months ago, and couldn't find much. nobody here had anything to say about it either. has anyone seen any results from such a set up?
