When Joe and I change TB's a few years back, the Typhoons were just coming in. We didnt want to risk the $$ savings because we heard some sticking issues. Does anyone know if they have improved the TB's, and is there anyone here who has one without problems (or anyone here who HAS had a problem)?

Thanks
RC

i've used a pro-products(guessin thats who youre talkin about) t/b for over a year now with absolutely no problems.

i actually favor it over a bbk t/b i have due to the fact it has an adjustable tps mount where as the bbk does not and requires slotting the tps.

i think if you have the idle screw opened a little then the sticking problems seem to be a non-issue.

Just wanting to know because I may get the 75 when (if) I do a motor. I want to keep polished parts. If I do that, I will have a NICELY POLISHED 70mm TB for sale


Thanks...any other input will be helpful!

I'm running a 70mm natural aluminum finish Pro Products throttle body, and it seems to be a pretty decent part. I don't have any of the sticking issues that people have reported in the past.

I got mine from www.carshopinc.com. It looks like they have the polished 75mm throttle body for $164.95.

i've had mine for about 7-8 months now. i don't drive the car much, but i haven't had any issues as far as the TB working. but i did have a problem with it bolting up to my stock cobra intake as the holes didn't line up. but a drill press with a 3/8 bit did the trick

Thanks for the input.. I may get one of these with the combo, which means I will be selling a nice BBK 70mm POLISHED one to help pay for it.!!

how much you looking to sell the bbk 70 for? I plan on getting a 70mm for my combo and have been wanting a polished unit...actually looking for a bbk/edlb.

Problem is that I will still need it for about a year. WHen the time is right, I will be sure to let people know (WILL PUT IN MY SIG).

SInce it is polished with low miles, it wont be that cheap, but still less than a new one that is NOT polished.

Thanks
