I got my 68.5 tb from hipotek today it looks brand new and the plate is tight to the bore. I will install it after work and post up some more pics and videos.

awesome

 

NICE! Let us know what ya think and when you are done driving it around. Slide it in park or neutral and give it a rev! Tell em what it does...


Another thing... take note at how many drill marks you have on your stock TB next to the IAC inlet (the ones like in your second pic). I am just curious. I trying to piece together and idea.

 

wth are those marks for?

 

I am wondering if they are something to do with tuning and air resistance... if thats the case, its an easy fix and I should have investigated more... lol

Our stock ones have 5... the one I sold to Ueland has 2 or 3, making less resistance on air movement... if this is the case, I hate myself for not thinking about it more. It never come to mind until this morning and that picture...

 

Hmmm...interesting angle....I should have mine today or tomorrow...ill be sure to check it out.

 

Old tb you can really tell the difference of the bore in person.

Videos will be up soon i havent started it yet im still waiting for the pcm to reset.

 

Lo and behold mine was here on the front step when I got home! This one has 3 of those drill marks. Whats nice about this one is the gap is even all the way around. Billy you thinking the marks have to match? the oem tb?

 

what drill marks are you talking about?

 

the 3 little marks in the 3rd pic, where the air comes in past the idle control dont know what those are for but looks like no one is the same....maybe has something to do with some of the idle issues some of us have had with the fastman tb's?? dont really know.
