is there any advantage over buying a already bored throttle body from howellautomotive.com for $280 or will I still get the same performance if i just send mine in for $100?

MODS:

HRC 16g turbo kit, Spearco custom FMIC, Custom IC piping, VT rebuilt engine: Custom 8.8:1 compression CP pistons, Eagle connecting rods, Melling oil pump, Clevite bearings, 370cc injectors, Vortech S-FMU, Apexi N-1 catback exhaust, AFX UDP, Autometer boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, EGT gauge, Corbin's digital A/F gauge, Tokico Blue shocks, Tein springs (1.5" drop), 18" Konig Verdicts rims, VIS stock-style Carbon fiber hood

The only advantage is that you get an extra throttle body and no down time for $180.

Buy one off someone for $50 and swap, send, recieve, swap, and sell the $50 one for $50.

thanks for the response. The good thing is i dont need to buy the temporary throttle body cause i have another car to drive during the down time. how are the results of the mod? it looks like a great mod for only $100. any input anyone?

basically just better throttle response on a NT.. since you have a GS..

i think it helps a turbo car out a lot more.

I love dino and 2gnt. ####ers (my word) bliz stole it but i let him borrow it

sorry for what may seem like a dumb question.. but what exactly does better throttle response mean? is it a "feel" thing or is it an actual performance gain?

Better throttle response is simply what it states. When you press the throttle, your car will start to move more immediately than it would otherwise. However, you won't have more "push" or power when it does come.

For instance, if your internet connection is slow, it takes longer for it to load up as opposed to a quicker connection. It's not as if you'll receive a "better" web page if you have a faster connection, you'll just get it more quickly. Same deal here.

so torque does not necessarily improve?
hmmm maybe it would still be worth the feel of acceleration.
