A couple questions about a BBTB
I'm porting out a spare IM I picked up at the junk yard and I am thinking about going with a large BBTB to match. Does anyone have any experience with mounting the TPS to one of these. It says its universal but its also an ebay product. Ebay's "universal" usually means it doesnt fit anything (in my experience).
The other thing I was wondering about is the fact that it is an 80mm throttle body. That seems huge! Any thoughts on how that is going to effect low end? My car is pretty weak in the low end anyway so I'm thinking about just going for higher RPM power rather than torque.
Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.ca/HYUNDAI-80mm-UNIV...item27b4761737
Any and all thoughts are appreciated!

oversized throttle bodies have been covered at length here before. Allow me to repeat myself.
P.S. Never. Ever. EVAR! buy from an ebay seller with <99% feedback, unless you are a glutton for punishment.

^^yup, i have a 65mm on mine and before the turbo i didn't make sh*t till like 3.5k. With an 80mm N/A...just don't do it
I've heard a lot of good things about Denis' TB's, I'd definitely go that route.
My "^^yup" was referring to Bom's post, not stockers
