Who makes this throttle body? Help!

Two months ago I picked up a Chrome dipped Engine plate from ebay, the seller threw in a throttle body. It didn't come with any gaskets or screws. If anyone could tell me who makes this tb i'd Appreciate it. Thanks!

It's not a throttle body. Maybe a throttle-body spacer.

that is a throttle body spacer.

and throttle body spacers DONT DO JACK SHIT to your car. as, any air tuning is done in the intake manifold and NOT before it.

I wouldnt waste my time finding out who makes that. as I wouldnt even install it.
p.s. you dont need to find out who makes it to install it....it's probably p2r's and you can grab a p2r gasket as that TBS should fit and match the mounting holes of your throttle body.

but again, its a useless piece of metal. dont install it.

Yeah, I know, I read most of the threads on these tbs. It doesn't look like a p2r but I could be wrong.

might be a good decorative piece to hang off your rear view mirror.

You must've installed yours backwards. If you face it the right way it's 30hp guaranteed. Two of them together is worth 60 but if one is facing the wrong way they cancel each other out and there's no gain.

If you get it in red it's another 5hp more.
