don't buy a new TB, search for one used. I'm sure you can find one somewhere. The dealer is full of shit about hp ratings, don't listen to them.

you don't need the lower IM, they are the same on the TLP and S. If you get them extrude honed out then it may help a bit, but not really noticeable unless you are FI. They are a pain in the ass to take out and put back in too so stay away from them.
