Evo 8 Throttle body

How big is it? 60mm like the 1G or 62mm? Is it worth the hassle?

No it is not worth the hassle. Get a 1g N/T throttle body.

I thought the N/t throttle body leaked under boost?

 

[95blackGsTurbo]

They do but then again all DSM throttle bodies develop shaft seal leaks at some time. With a proper rebuild they work awesome. Plus the I/C is coupled to the throttle body instead of bolted on so it is a much better seal.

Oh so a rebuilt N/T throttle body is a good way to go?
What is the size difference, between a turbo and non turbo throttle body?

 

[the_mork]

No size difference betweeen NT and turbo 1g TBs, the only difference is how the piping connects.

For the majority of cars the 1g tb is plenty large and will outflow most street friendly setups.

I have rebuilt a few N/T's using turbo shaft seals with no leaking problems while being tested up to 25-30 psi.

I thought the Evo8 TB will be somewhat of an upgrade with it's half shaft and 60mm throttle blade. Thanks for the heads up.
