Does anyone know the difference between the AFX tb bored to 55mm vs the company that ports/polishes and powdercoats your tb? The one through ebay is cheaper, but I just wanted to make sure.

the difference is the AFB TB is 55mm while the Egay one is 52mm.... read the fine print

I have the concept illusions bored tb. They just remove the hump in the middle of the tb to make it a straight through 52mm instead of 52-49-52. I felt some very good gains for the money spent. The boring was done nicely but the powdercoat was shit man I think they used a $30 powdercoating kit or something. Ebay one is well worth $40 if you can deal with the down time. I was down about 2 weeks but i live in cali and concept illusions is in penn.

in my experience i would just go with the MP 60mm TB(or the Jeep TB if you want to save money). i got an ARD 55mm, then afterwards got a ported intake mani which is like 59mm... now i want to get a 60mm TB so the money spent on the 55mm was a waste.

I guess it just depends on your future plans, however you can probably expect better throttle response and maybe a little gain no matter which way you go.

follow metal jims walkthrough and do a jeep TB

60mm is nice, even on my car that doesnt run =)

Modern performance has the same throttle body, just different color and for the same price. I have had MP 60mm and it is a very nice throttle body, so i am not familiar with the zzapp one. I would also like to know about who Zapp motorsports is.

i have the ported and powdercoated one from ebay
the porting is great
mirror finish with no machine marks or toolings anywhere

here is a link to where i posted a pic of the powdercoating
it isnt the greatest in the world
but the entire thing from start to getting it back to me was 30 bucks

the dark splotches are bad lighting

buy a new gasket from the store, and reuse the two stock bolts that are on there now. i emailed them and they said it is a direct bolt on for the eclipse...

I bought the modern performance tb about 2 months ago, it comes with a 60mm gasket and 2 new bolts, i don't think the stock bolts would work. It was a perfect fit, sensors and everything. I also have a stock tb for sale if you wanna port w/o downtime, make me an offer
