Lightbulb Throttle Body

Since I'm installing the TPC supercharger, I need to replace the Varioram with a Throttle body from a 95. Does anyone have one they want to sell? If not any recs on where to source one from? While I'm at it, does it make sense to put a bigger or better throttle body?

Thanks

I have a 1995 C4. Are the Intakes interchangeable??? I have a couple of open connectors on my updated wiring harness and I thought they might be related to varioram??

Thanks for the link. I don't think I'm going to sell the VarioRAM unit since I want to be able to return it to stock.

And yes you can use a VarioRAM on a 95, although I'm not sure whats entailed in retrofitting.

Sachin,

Why do you need the '95 throttle body ? My TPC kit was complete and other than the injectors and piggy back chip, went in asis.

That's what their install manual says. Did yours come with one?

From the manual...
"SPECIAL NOTE: the following items are needed for the installation which are NOT included, you
can obtain these items from your local dealer.
’96-’98 993 with Vario-Ram
# 993 110 128 11 throttle body
# 993 110 367 04 rubber hose"

Sachin - Are you doing the TPC install yourself? I am considering getting one, but will have a mechanic familiar with this install handle it.

Midwest Eurosport in Chicago is going to install the SC. I'm going to install the Intercooler afterwards.

Sachin, Sound like you have a TPC SC on your car now. How is it? Big horsepower as advertised or is it lacking? I am considering the mod. but I am having second thoughts. I have been to their shop, quite impressive and all, but I am also hearing about some less than stellar results. Please give me your hands on impressions. Also any other TPC SC users, please chime in with your experiences with this. Thanks!!
