Talked to George at Mini-Madness,
The throttle bodies are on hold due to problems with rough idle and surging. Until these issues are resolved none will be available for shipment.

Bluesmaster,

Just to give you an update (George is sourcing the throttle bodies from MINI-Motorsport), we found the problem we believe - the throttle plate was ground wiht the wrong angle. The new plate is being made today, and I should have the throttle body to test by next week.

I would be happy to update anyone with lots and lots of information on this project - I have a ton. Feel free to contact me with any other questions.

I'd be interested in the results of your testing with the revised unit.

A throttle body seems alittle less extreme for right now, but a decent mod. What are the gains people have gotten through polished heads?
