Throttle Body

Does anybody know what make of Throttle Body this is as you can see in the photos it is black not painted and the unusual thing as far i can see is there is nowhere for the water pipes to fit it has not been modified it is a single casting

..... It looks OEM to me , with an airfoil ... the water manifold on the bottom is easy enough to separate from the IAC portion .....

i know the airfoil comes out but there is no fitting for the water manifold on the bottom were the iac valve goes in part of the casting the there is no place for a manifold on the bottom

Without looking at it, who can say? There are 2 possible options:

1. PO ground off the IAC housing so it doesn't have the inlet and outlet

2. PO changed the IAC housing

OP - Why wouldn't you just contact A.B.M. Garage - Weymouth? I've seen them mentioned many times in some UK threads.

Maybe reach out to user adi4 or dan_t on the CCCUK forum, adi4 has been mentioned in the past as maybe "affiliated" with ABM (A.B.M.). Maybe not but .........................

Maybe RQ(Ray Quayle) here on the CF is familiar with them.

Maybe ABM Garage (A.B.M) is familiar with "your car"!!
