Aftermarket TB's

[2stroke]

Hello, i'm new to these forums as im seeking advice as to the quality of aftermarket tb's for your guys cars. i'm looking to blow through (turbo) a 65mm 5.0 TB on my VW and would prefer an aftermarket TB. any feedback to which brands to steer clear of would be appreciated. saw this on Ebay. wondering if any of you knew anything

i've heard mixed things about the professional products ones. i've also heard mixed things about the MAC throttle bodies. i am using a mac, and haven't had any problems.

the "best" are supposed to be accufab, but they are around twice as much as the average one at $130. i would recommend a mac, it fit good, no problems with it. i paid like $120 for it brand new also.

i havent gotten one yet, but when i do im probaly just going to get a bbk or a mac, it shouldnt be that hard of a decision like picking an exhaust system, im guessing there all prety much the same

 

[281pony]

some have them stick WOT which can get dangerous.

i said screw it and bought what was cheap and a name brand. working well so far

 

[mob]

[281pony]

Edelbrock also makes a very nice t body

i have an edelbrock 70mm and it's fine.i think the older ones were bbk with edelbrock stamped on them and they had problems but the new design is supposed to be better.i've had mine for 6 months now,no problem plus mine came with a tps already installed and i believe the bbk doesn't and they'er the almost same price.

so 2stroke do you have a 302 in your VW or just using a tb off a 302?

Same with mine, its a very nice piece compared to some of the other aftermarket stuff ive bought. No whistling or sticking throttle either

no 302, just the ford TB. it will be going on a 2275cc (2.3L) type 1 VW motor. fuel injected turbocharged intercooled. engine that made the 11.17 in my signature was a 1915cc (1.9L or 117ci) type 1 VW motor with 150hp nitrous.

get the 105mm tb it will be the best for you those vw move

I think I sense some sarcasm here. Nah, not on this board If he could possibly get a 2.3L to move enough air to need a 105mm TB, he'd probably be in the 6s with that car. Too much velocity loss with a TB that big.

Holley & Accufab both make some nice TBs.

ive never thought about edlebrock what are the prices for them?

 

[shttygtstang]

i was f u c k i n g with him dont get the 105 get a 90 lol

 

[mob]

lol that would suck if he actually got it

 

[mike93lx]

my vote goes to accufab. i love mine, the quality is great and it doesn't whistle like my bbk did.
