Has anyone used one of these cheap throttle bodies from ebay Silver 70mm UNIVERSAL THROTTLE BODY FORD SUBARU WRX STI NISSAN AUDI VW BMW ALL

Was wondering whether they had bearing inserts etc, or whether the spindle just runs in the alloy?

Any experiences / advice welcome, any better supplier of 70mm bodies.

Cheers.

Pete

I have used one, not too bad, shaft has a plain bearing.

Biggest issue is odd ball TPS fitting, we modified ours to take a Jenvey / weber TPS.

Best just buy a Jenvey throttle body, but will cost ya £200.

They're all just chinese ones such as you find here in large variety at lower price...

I've been considering a pair of these myself but TPS fitting is important to me as I want it neat, not a cludge.
