It's also a good idea to bore the intake manifold opening to match the bbtb..

The stock IM can go up to 62mm or so I think. You do not need to up the fuel with a BBTB, although fuel tuning couldn't hurt wink1.gif

I'd suggest you edit your posts rather than double posting... but let's leave that to a moderator laugh.gif:
As with the other stuff you needed to know I meant pretty much what everybody else just said. Also, if I'm not wrong I read on ha.com that our TB's were not concentric, so the shop has to be very careful because if they bore too much the side with less "meat" to bore, your TB is going to become useless. 58mm IS THE MAX you can bore the TB, so ask the shop to be very careful with that. I guess if they did Tib TB's before they should know.
And it would be a great idea to bore up the stock IM, otherwise your gains will be minimal (if you're spending 175 CAN on it, put some more $$$ and make it worth).

Don't forget the GTR ones will be on sale soon at Kspec.com too, great price.

I HIGHLY suggest you get one of the used ones first mang, these things don't wear much so a used is brand new.
