Default Installed Katech Ported TB

Great product, I bought slightly used from a forum member "Gfacter" Thank you. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Throttle feels much crisper, Also on the open highway it just feels better, difficult to describe but my butt o meter feels better. Katech for the win...
I am sure other ported TBs are just as good...If you are on the fence about buying one go for it, worst case you don't like it, then sell it.

The PTB added to the drivability getting rid of the off idle bog on the m7.
I like it too.
100 cfm gain has been posted.
My A8 is fine with no bog that my M7 had!
