hi all,
   ok today i got my 51mm throttle body back from juan who i know people dont like on here very much but i got it done anyway as i couldn't get it done any where else!
    jas any one held a standard throttle body or one of there 51mm bodys up to a light and seen any gap around the butterfly?? mine has a very very small gap on the butterfly where i think that juan hasn't put enough chamfer on the edge but it still looks prettey good has any one got pics of there throttle body standard or 51mm held up to a light would be good to see the difference cheers guys, oh ill post some pics up tonight thanks :)

i've got one of juan's 51mm throttle bodies,
i held my standard one up to the light and compared it with the 51mm throttle body and tbh there wasn't much difference if any in the gap around the butterfly, i was abit sceptical of mine at first but it works really well mine idles pretty sweet at about a grand, when i let off on the odd occasion when at a stop it stays at about 1500 rpm for a second then settles so in my view nothing really to worry about

hope this helps
