I have convinced myself that who makes it wont matter much as long asthey have done a quality job. Keep in mind no matter which TB you get the gains wont be very dramatic. With that in mind I bought one of these and have been happy with it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DODGE-JEEP-M...item3cbf35616d

well i know that a bigger 52mm TB won't do a ton alone.. i do plan on getting a Airgap and headers and dual exhuast and etc all in the future.. but i cant aford everything at once... i don't mind ebay but idk if i'd buy that from them..i'd like to stick with a dealer.. not a 3rd party web site

The one on ebay is modified and sold by one of our members 1999BLKDAKRT (Brain). He takes his modified stock TBs a couple steps above and beyond that of Fastman, does quality work and sells at a very reasonable price. You won't be disappointed. Send him a PM as he may have a member discount.

I love my fastman 1st mod I did to the truck ! 5 years ago lol I remember the throttle responce was better and gained power . Its worth it if your modding . Sct is by far the best mod for these trucks though

If you tow a lot and / or like bottom end. Stick with a 50mm on a 360. I swapped my 50mm from my 98 318 when it got wrecked, onto my 360 and I love it.

I was worried about low end loss from the 52mm. Not that it didn't happen but I couldn't tell if it did.
