i have used an LS tb on a 5th gen mani before.i had to dremel the mani to match the larger size tb.not sure if it will fit a 4th gen mani.it seems like the bolt pattern is a little different.but i cant remember for sure.

so is it just a plug and play method?
just take it off and replace it without doing any other technical work?
