Also, is there enough material to bore it out to 68mm? I hope the housing is about the same size as stock cause with the Hesco aluminum head the valve cover is VERY close.
anyone done this??
thanks

Do not know about the avenger fit, but I do have a tb that was bored and polished to just below 64MM. I don't think much more could be removed and leave enough strength, and I don't know if every one could be taken that far? Oletshot will hopefully add his thoughts before long.

Edited to add: larger TB's can be adapted to fit our intake manifold and adapters are not that difficult, you also might remove the top portion of a oem unit turn a step on the od and sleeve the outside of the TB to end with a 68mm id. then take a look at increasing the diameter of the lower portion to this size? I will take a look tomorrow with one in hand????????????

thanks for the reply,
the throttle body in question is a billet CNC job from f&b it has a 68mm opening in WHO knows what size housing. I am short on clearance from the higher valve cover from the hesco head. Also Avenger emailed me that I can bore the blower housing out to 68mm and expect 10 - 12 hp more. So I think will give it a try. I bored my stock unit out years ago, worked great. But i think the butterfly should have been enlarged, and maybe affecting my vacumn activated controls: boost a pump, vortech super fmu, blower bypass switch. I have no real computer mods ( apexi neo) and rely on vacumn a lot.
