It looks great. how much does something like that sell for? Does anyone have pics of a nonported throttle body to compare it to?
 
FYI re:machined throttle bodies

I had my TB machined out and when I installed it I noticed a VERY annoying issue. The accelerator pedal had to be "hit" harder than normal to get the blade to open up from idle position. Once the blade was off the idle position it was OK but a pain for stop start city driving.
I had to remove it and polish the blade edges so the fit was not so tight in the bore. Every so often after the car sits for a few days I still notice that the very first off idle movement sticks. I think I used 400 grit emery to do the deed.

That was the guy

Steve monroe is the guy's name. I'm telling you this guy did some incredible work. The side where the plastic snorkel attaches was reradiused and the side where the turbo attaches had some extra material welded onto it to make the tb stronger in that area. I think it is a pretty good deal considering he is pretty much the only one doing it commerically and it is a superior product.

If I where to send him my TB should I send the Compressor hsg as well?

ur going to need larger compressor wheels if u do that, might as well send ur turbo out and have it converted to a stage 3
 
I do have a larger turbo on there from PTE but, I couldn't tell ya how big the inlet is without taking it apart.
