Just upgraded my throttle body and I actually really like it. Read everywhere that it doesn't really do anything but thats not true. It was pretty hard to make my car chirp the tires but after the install, my tires basically chirp everywhere. It reduced that delay that this car has that everyone hates and gave it a nice boost in the lower RPM range. Even made the car idle a bit louder. Over all, I'm happy with this purchase.

I see a spacer did you add it with 73 mm TB ? How does it fit ?

I had the spacer on before the new throttle body. I'm sure it'll fit but the opening on it is smaller so I didn't want to use it with the new throttle body.

I believe its 68mm's.



I would say so. I definitely noticed an improvement. I used the forum discount code from americanmuscle. I don't regret it
didn't know we had one ?

What's the discount code? Lol
I would pm AMAlexLazarus and ask him for one. I don't wanna post up mine and end up getting it not working anymore. I still need it to buy the rims that I want from that website. :D

The throttle body? Yep, its the same one that works on the 14's and under.

Did anyone install one of these and get reimbursed by dealer/Ford for the defective TB recall? If so- how much $ did you get ?
I was thinking this would be a good time to do this, since the rebate should help offset the cost.

Not really a recall, but certain v6s made within a time frame had issues with defective throttle bodies. Ford issued a notice for affected v6s.

I don't think there is a recommended cai to use with BBK TB. You just use what you have or want.

Jon 3.7- As FUSE stated there is a Customer Service Program 16B32, which states-
"On your vehicle, the electric throttle body may develop contamination and result in the vehicle entering a protective low-speed mode......"
The letter advises to bring car or set up an appointment to get the TB replaced at no charge.
I was thinking I could buy the BBK 73MM unit and have Ford/dealer rereimburse me for the defective part, to offset my costs.
I have a 2016 V6
