I agree, it looks nicely made. Someone please give me the 411 on which throttle body to use. Years, part #, what not to use. Some ebay sellers are selling boxster tb's as 996 parts. They don't mention the mm size in their listings. I even saw one pulled from a 2.5 and being sold as a 996.

Thanks
I just designed it, I have to give credit to the guys @ shapeways for the printing! They know their stuff!

I'm done polishing the inside of the one I just received.
Still have to make sure it is clean and paint it!

I'm really excited to try it out. Thanks again for all the effort you're putting into these.
