it certainly appears to be a more significant piece than some of the other chinese crap i've seen lately
how about a 75mm or 80mm for the big block boys?
looking forward to your dyno's.

i mean its great quality for sure, but like miko said since there are other options out their that save that ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR then that would more or less be for those people. just becuase the price is what it is, doenst mean that people wont buy it, there will just be more of a select persons to buy a more higher end part like the autech.

It looks way to be a way better quality throttle body, dedicated from someone that is on the forum, has first hand experience with us, and is able to be right here for help.

If you guys like spending money on cheapy parts and jerry rigging shit to fit then go for it, dont dog other peoples threads that are trying to help and boost the forum.

Miko youve always been too cocky but ive never said anything, if you want ebay parts go buy them, otherwise let the guy post his stuff, go make a thread and whine about it in there.

Andreas take your crap elsewhere. All you have done thus far is contribute crap about this and that product on ebay.

This thread is about this product. The price is the price, and there is a reason for it. The chinese crap you posted is exactly that - chinese crap - and you pay for what you get.

Andreas i dont mind if you contribute SOMETHING (critical ideas - eg ugly colour etc) but what you have posted is just tugging your own chain. We are happy and more than open to analysis, we would love feedback in relation to ideas on how the product could be improved or ideas for features. Hence the thread title, first batch.

Nice throttle body! I wouldn't mind having that for when I make my intake manifold.

with all due respect, andreas, it's companies like Autech, JWT, etc who do the R&D for our cars. companies like OBX and SSAC and other chinese knockoff companies sure do have killer prices but how much does it cost to copy someone's design? not much...

look what happened to Hot Shot Headers. sure, they weren't cheap, but what happens when SSAC/OBX makes a copy of their product and sells it for a fraction of the price? there's no more hot shot....

sure, autech's billet TB is expensive, but you're paying into guaranteeing that reputable companies like autech will continue making parts for our cars.

by all means (and this message is to all you cheapy-fake part supporters/purchasers) if you guys want to keep buying fake parts, go ahead. i've already moved onto different platforms so it doesn't effect me, but think about yourselves for a second. this market is going to dry up if you guys keep undercutting the guys who are putting their own time, money, and resources into the R&D for these motors/chassis....

Keep doing your thing man. Ignore all this ebay slinging shit because that is what kills the companies that try and help our community.
