hey guys

I am going to be turbo in a week or so. Do you think this TB would make an even better gain when used with a turbo. I would imagine the gain would be AWESOME. What do you guys think.

PS - And even more amazing with a P&P job!!!

Would you realy feel any power gain with out making the manifold 60mm?

Just wondering

You'll feel as much as you would with a 55-56mm without boring the intake. So yeah, you should feel a difference. To take full advantage of that bore size, you could port the manifold with a dremmel.

the butterfly looks to have some gaps in it on the sides.. be wary.

That actually looks like a very nice piece, but like Breezio mentioned, I'd worry about those gaps on both sides of the butterfly. It seems someone didn't use a wide enough piece of aluminum to stamp out the butterfly piece.
