Default Help ID 968 throttle body

I've looked at every picture I can find of 968 motors and I can't find one that shows the throttle body I have on my new to me 968 race motor. Any help would be appreciated.

the oem throttle body has a coolant passage and case venting.

you have a non-oem part and I would seat the boot on the MAF.

What's the history of your engine? I have a very similar looking intake track on my recently purchased 968 race engine so it might have the same TB. Does it measure 70mm diameter? Stock is 63mm. Will get some pics to share soon. For my engine, the intake manifold was ported to match the larger 70mm TB.

I think it is. 70 or 75mm throttle body made by BBK. The fitment is for a 5.0l Mustang. My intake is ported to the diameter of the TB, but I didn't bother mic'ing it.

You can find them on EBay or Summit a Racing.
