Just curious, what kind of project is this (that is, what exactly will you be doing)? The Evo 3 TB does not do any "tapering" of any kind. It's somewhat similar to the 1G NT TBs, with a snout or throat that protrudes from the throttle plate. This makes it utterly impossible to attach a 2G TB elbow to this TB (not something I'm particularly worried about). I'll be sticking with my 1G TB, just to make my life that much easier.

In the very distant future, I'm probably looking at the DKS 264/272 combo from FFWD. But that's way in the future.

Dustin, you're probably right, but I'm still sticking with the last sentence of post #1. Hopefully when I finally get all this shit together, I'll go with a custom UICP that will mirror the 60mm measurement before the taper.

In regards to the four spots on the gasket I colored red, I took some small drill bits and went to work. Seemed to do the job. The box cutter knife was no help, though.
1g rods with 2g pistons, fp race manifold, 16g (most likely ported compressor cover and turbine housing), lots of fuel (e85 car probably), e3 intake manifold, hopefully a custom side mount, that throttle body, and mega squirt ems. I would like a mid 12 second daily driver out of it, as that was what mine was with a 16g, but this will have better parts.
