OK, next item, throttle bodies.  What are people using, is there something

really neat from some model car in the junk yards?

...Chrissi

Almost anything works with about a three inch hole or larger.
Throttle bodies using Tracy's fuel injection are merely simple
butterfly valves. No throttle position sensor needed.
No mass air flow sensors needed either.

Chuck Dunlap machined his own.

THREE INCHES !!@##$! that is one big throttle.
Why so big when the intercooler is smaller, and what is the output of the turbo compressor?
...Chrissi

First, this is not intended as a turbo charger throttle body.

Two, a pressure drop is a pressure drop no matter where it occurs
in a serial system.

Three, there are no drawbacks to a too big throttle body.

There are however drawbacks to a too little throttle body as the 
compressor has to work harder and therefor heat the intake
charge more for the same boost.
