OBX individual throttle bodies - any experience?
Has anyone tried these on an aftermarket EFI system? Any feedback regarding quality or compatibility issues? The price is sure agreeable.

Get the good stuff not worth the aggravation. For TPS this can be used Weber TPS Kit - Miller's Mule

Garbage. A customer brought in a set to see if I could work with it and there's No Way that anyone could possibly make these reliable. To prove a point I sealed them up and smoked them . . . Smoke just flowed straight out of the throttle shafts.

Depending on your engine size, look into Suzuki GSXR ITB's. Early 2000's IIRC have separate throttlebodies with a common shaft you can modify for any spacing needed.

okay you cannot simply post automotive porn like that without additional information. Who makes those and where can you get them? They look awesome.
