    Its a throttle body off a XF falcon...i think its XF anyway....who cares a falcon is a falcon.

    But theres modification involved...theres some good write-ups on it around the net...if i find one i will post it in here.

    from what i found when i lookd into it, bit of grinding needs to be done on the inside of the intake manifold, bit of plumbing needs doing for the coolant pipe that go thought the throtal and bit of custom wireing is need for the throtal position sensor

    but i got thrown of from the idea of using alot more petrol with and bearly any gain in peformace so i dropd the idea
