    ay mate i got one they are great no power increase but the throttle is amazing, so much more responsive, better take off, i got mine from ebay aswell, if u got the cash get a maf aswell they work great togeather. but if u change the maf u will need a tune, and just the throttle body buy its self u dont,

    Hi yip had one on for about six months now (Mace) and the things I have noticed are an increased throttle response at slow speed more induction noise and funny shift points on the auto not as smooth or predictable as the stock unit.
    As far as power goes I cant say I have noticed anything much I guess the dyno is the only way to prove it.

    the real only down side, as topzone meantioned, is the auto shift points are out of whack. i dont know if you actually gain any more power as aposed to better throttle response down low. i had one on and have since removed it due to the shift points

    Have a talk to Mace,I'm sure they have a little mod that fixes the shift problems.

    yer i was going to get a maf and a pod with a custom box and all that, i was just going to do that and get doctor bob to see about a chip that will help bring out the power and get the shift points all down pack?
    ill have to see how it goes?
    just hope kevins rudds $950 comes sooner then later,
    then i can get a little sticker on the back windscreen saying "thanks kevie"

    Is there any real difference between the throttle bodys on ebay?? id rather pay $140 instead of $200, dont understand how a more well know company's product can be better than joe blow's in this case.
    Im pretty sure most if not all just use a recycled throttle body.

    Yeah i recon theres a few mods that Kev's gonna fund!
