The water lines are reversed?
I already have a Magna TB fitted but when I manually open the butterfly I can see that the opening is smaller on the plenum than the TB

Not so much reversed, they just come out on different angles

Yip and much cheaper and easier than machining current tb and finding butterfly to suit

Doubt it. But why do this unless you have ecu to suit or plan on boosting

I have an ecu to put in, just waiting to get my car back.

Remember I asked you for diagrams on your wiring.

Which I still have to get back to u with pics. Just haven't had the car with me so I haven't bothered :lol:

What machine would be required to bore out the manifold hole? I think the fitters at work might have a machine.

Easy can either machine or use finger style belt sander will ground it in no time

Is it just the initial inlet that needs grinding out?

Is it that simple?

Can do will work fine. Can also take meat out of whole thing and ports to heads too and remove plastic inside but thats really not needed. Just doing tb and mouth will give plenty more air as with a aftermarket intake that area is what bottlenecks

^But they are all saying I need an after market programmable ECU to install it^ :scratch:

Not sure if the Magna range got TCL but most later Veradas (KJ onwards) got TCL

i have a question about the tb.

as mentioned before the magna tb makes problems down low and makes the car run rich, and would need a after market ecu?

i was wondering would the RPW TB make the same problem? its the same size 65mm. abit pricey for what it is though. and is it worth the coin? my guess is no.
