At this price point on the TB modification, I would seriously consider this one from GoWesty. I definitely like the sealed ball bearing for the throttle shaft. There might be a TPS/lever orientation issue ( I have read somewhere) but someone had gone around this problem. I think I had read it on STF. Obviously, this would mount on a Vanagon plenum which might be better for the 2270(?) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) https://www.gowesty.com/product/electrical/...e-valve-housing ![]() I have one of these on the bench waiting to be installed this winter as my motor is needing even more air than the 50mm vanagon TB can provide. The throttle arm is in the wrong orientation and needs to be swapped and due to the design of the TB itself it is not as straight forward a swap as using a stock 2.1 vanagon TB. The GoWesty unit however is 52mm and uses a flat throttle plate as opposed to the 2.1 vanagons tapered thottle plate that creates some restriction at WOT. Its a really nice piece, out of the box its actuation is buttery smooth. |
