Overview
Bolting this Pro Series throttle body in place of the factory unit relocates the MAP sensor underneath and removes the OEM water passages. It works with factory intake tubing, the factory manifold and the stock throttle cable.
The bore is the largest the Evo manifold can accept, which makes this a drop-in stage for a turbocharged car that is short of airflow. Gains stay modest because the factory manifold remains the limit. Exact model years are not spelled out in the copy.
Who it's for
Evo VIII and IX owners with a turbo engine and a mostly stock top end get the clearest fit. Drivers of other Mitsubishi cars, or builders planning a new manifold, should confirm fitment with the seller before ordering.
Pros and cons
- Large bore matched to the OEM manifold
- Reuses the OEM throttle cable
- Sealed bearings for smooth operation
- Hardware and new gasket included
- Model years not listed
- Gain limited by the factory manifold
- Weight and size details are minimal
Performance notes
A larger bore lowers restriction at high throttle openings, which helps a turbo engine fill its cylinders at peak airflow. Moving the sensor and dropping the water passages changes the body layout, not the flow itself. Smooth drivability depends on the bearings and cable match.
