should be

these 2 things are totally separate. I don't see any reason why they won't be compatible. My car has a ton more stuff than just a throttle body and I never had a problem with Sprintbooster.

Have one on my car and love the thing man!! 80mm TB on mine BTW.

You gotta know what you are getting into with it though. Car can be a bit choppy as you are getting used to the throttle opening sooner with less throttle. Wife/girlfriend will HATE it and real good chance car wash guys/valets will spin the tires when they pull up to the wash/parking spot.

Once you get the swing of it, it's a blast.
