E55 throttle body w/shaft mod
Stock E55 throttle body with shaft ground down. Most people say this is worth 10-15hp and better throttle response. I felt an improvement but just got a 82mm set-up so dont need it anymore.

I did this mod this weekend and it was well worth it. Had I been able to buy a TB where all the leg work was already complete, I'd have jumped all over this ad...

GL with sale.

For $150, you can't go wrong. I paid over $100 for my tb before I spent hours grinding it and making it nice and smooth.
