I am selling my Enlarged OE c20xe Throttle Bodie. It originally was bought from Courtenay Sport for £255. Its in very good condition,and has been on my engine for about 6-8months? it has been taken off due to me replacing my engine,and i am not fitting it again as i need cash to replace my engine 
Base price: £180 inc.postage


cheers. Kev

we dismantle the throttle body and use a CNC lathe to enlarge the diameter of the unit, as well as installing a new, bigger throttle disc and low profile spindle to suit.

does that not mean that its strength is reduced? if its been milled out?

If the spindle has been machined too much they can easily break.

If you look at the pic the spindle is flattened to make the passage of air smoother.
