Can't...Drive by wire sadly :(

But good advice, lol.

I was joking...

Mil Spec is a more reputable shop with a lower price...whats not to love about that.

Nothing, other than time travel. I get bored with people asking me why I have MX1s or a Full Race manifold. Umm, few shops were selling anything.

People have made over 800whp on the stock unported 1G 60mm DSM throttle body and Honda guys do it too with similar sized stock Honda throttle bodies. I have only done any back to back throttle body testing on NA cars and it usually does nothing on them except hurt mid range power. Kind of a hard to guess part as to what size you need and when one becomes a power restriction. Around 58-62mm usually matches well with 2.5" intercooler piping. I have been impressed with the Boomba stuff as far as idle control actually working. I ran the big, cheap and durable Q45 Tb on my 2G. It's progressive throttle body, so it wasn't just on and off like most big Mustang throttle bodies, but it lacks much provision for idle control.

Oh I know, trust me....there are many things I'd change if I built the car right now...I am not giving ya crap...just saying why we are happy about the milspec stuff.

People on 8/9's are making well into the 800whp area on ported stockers to my knowledge.

When I helped Diiirk get the 5-bar working on the stock ecu, they made 900whp (dynojet) on a ported stock IM/TB combo:

Make no mistake, for the price this is a GREAT mod.

On the X only, or have you done any on an 8/9 or dsm? I know the idle control is way better on teh X since the ecu can blip the throttle plate to keep the engine alive. Good to hear.

I have had them on Evo 8/9s and SRT-4s, but I don't remember if any of them were stock ECU cars. I thought I did a stock ECU big turbo speed density Evo 8 with the Boomba last year.

Have you heard of any longevity issues with them? I know I heard one report of a failure but that's about it.

It certainly is a tough decision, but evo8/9/X there's kinda a few combos to go with (and I cannot decide what I want!)

Option1: Ported stock manifold, ported stock TB
Option2: Ported stock manifold, modified to 3" inlet, boomba 75mmTB, fancy 3" LICP, 3" FMIC outlet
Option3: aftermarket intake manifold w/ stock or boomba TB.


Man, we have the makings of a real test here :)

Moved some stuff from deadmausX thread here, so we can conquer all TB-related questions/comments/ideas/etc.
