is my car going to blow up?

i should've done research before bidding recklessly. i keep seeing horror stories of idle problems with these. is this the same for the 75mm?

btw, i THINK it's a mac throttle body. it looks like the one on their site.

what should i do? should i risk it for 90 bucks or refuse it and take the negative feedback?

Ahh I hate accidental wins, although my accidents would probably be a bit more extreme now. For some reason recently I compulsively bid on mustangs on ebay... I'm afraid one of these days I'll get an email saying that I won a car.

I agree with this guy. You don't want to screw up your reputation on ebay, its a great source for speed parts!

I bought a MAC 75mm tb (new) for ~$225.00. It was crap. It had poor machining. I sold it for $100.00 within a month (shipping included). Took the lose (sp?) and bought a Accufab for $325.00. My MAC tb sucked bad.

Just my $0.02...
