Default convince me to go with either oem or skunk2 throttle body?

i am thinking of replacing my 76mm to go smaller. maybe skunk2 68mm tb or just oem.

what do you guys think of the fitment and overall product quality of skunk2? obviously oem is very good but its kinda boring but it will be a perfect fitment and fuss with installation. im just trying to see if its worth the time and money doing the skunk2.


also which civic tb gasket am i supposed to run on the skunk2?

Professional Products 68mm TB is what I replaced my Skunk2 TB with. Never had an issue since!

I have a almost new blox 68 that I am looking to upgrade to a 76!

The only reason is because I went from a 2.5" to a 3" cold side.

Pm me if you would like to work something out.

pm me your contact info.

i may want to sell it more then do a trade. im trying to stay with the same named product. i noticed the fitment is a tad bit better when i mate up the same brands together.

mine is pretty much new as well.

Stay away from blox, they leak like a mother ****er, unless you like boosting into the atmosphere instead of your engine.

And that is why they don't come with idle adjustment screws machined in them
