Just installed a 87mm TB, thought I'd share a difference picture. This is what a 11k mile TB looks like compared to a new one

It doesn't take long for the throttle body to get gunked up with oil without a catch can installed. I have installed throttle bodies on trucks that had 80-90k miles with no catch can, and you couldn't even see any metal on the back side of the TB...they were solid black with oil buildup.

Butt dyno didn't yield much if any improvement, it was pretty windy out today so I'll have to take it out for a drive on a calmer day to give it a fair opinion.

There are some areas where I think more attention to detail could have been used to smooth down the machining. Is it a big deal? Idk probably not.

Anyone ever bore out their own TB? I've done it before on my jeeps in the past, debating wether or not to try it on the TB I took off.
