Default F/S FVD ported throttle body for a 99 only

I upgraded to a larger bore so I have no use for my current one now. 400 shipped with no core charge. It prob has 500 miles on it.

What is it ported to? You sure 500 miles? That looks fairly dirty.

Mine has 140K miles on it and it doesn't look that bad!

We all know your throttle body didn't look like that from 145k miles. If it does it's bc you clean your engine. That's obvious as well. Considering it's my car and I put it on, yes. I don't really drive my cars much. They spend most of their life in the garage being modified. FVD bores them to 76.4mm

What are the benefits to a 99 with the evolution intake?

Note that the pictured TB is for a C2 - won't work on a '99 C4 w/ egas.

It's as close as you can come to running a gt3 throttle body like other generations that can run the gt3 throttle body. There really isn't any other options for non-egas cars on running larger throttle bodies.
Thanks. I always forget about the 99 c4 using a dbw throttle body.

I also have a speed merchant ported throttle body for sale for Egas cars for 450 shipped.

There's a guy on uk eBay called sneakapeak99 he can modify your throttle body for £99 GBP so that might be a bit pricey!

Share the link with us.

Well I was curious. I found him. Only ones he shows is for the 944 crowd. It then jogged my memory. I had this guy do my 951 one and he ruined it. Said he was replacing my throttle body I sent him but, sent me back a non 951 throttle body. So sure you can use this guy.

It be ifits to same tune of the gt3 throttle body upgrade. In the fact that this is the best option us drive by cable cars have. Also if you've ever followed what jake raby says about throttle body size you'll know that bigger (gt3 size) is not always better. Only when you have a engine that can flow enough air to benefit from it. To large of a bore will hurt performance.
