Soler performance throttle body
Been searching for a new throttle body and have heard nothing but good things about the Soler performance throttle body so I was just wondering if I could get some more opinions. I will most likely be making my final decision in the next 24 hours so every opinion would help! THANKS!!

Do it, you will NOT be disappointed, and I've never seen anything but positive reports from members (including me) who have the Soler TB! You'll also get the fantastic customer support that Mike is known for.

Just installed a month ago. The best on the market. The best customer support. Mike at solar will take care of you, just as he did me. Worth every penny.
good luck as you can’t go wrong with this product and install was a breeze as well as excellent craftsmanship. Second to none.

I can only speak to the differences on a M7 transmission. The stock throttle body creates pretty sluggish off-idle response. The car wants to bog down unless you give it a good bit of throttle. The Solar throttle body solved that, and with the addition of the BMS filter (which I recommend) the response now is excellent.
I followed Solar's install and "learning" recommendations.
I was one of the first to buy the Solar TB. I think the serial number on mine is 60. 2K miles later and I'm still very happy with it.

I installed the throttle body about a month ago. The throttle controller was on back order. I received the throttle controller but have not installed it yet. The ported throttle body really helped my 2016 Z06.

The off idle bog needs this or at least a ported unit to fix it!
