M30 Throttle body on M20 manifold

[gstuning]

I haven´t been able to verify it but I looked at the bolt pattern on both and they migh match, Of course the m20 manifold needs some matching,

I think this is a great mod on 3.0´s and Turbo applications

Can anybody go and check if the TB fits the manifold

Sure, let me just go get one of my spare M30 throttle bodies and go check for ya! :D

I'm just messin' with ya.

I don't think that the throttle body will fit, much less give any kind of noticeable gains. The M30 TB really isn't that much bigger.

The M30 TB is a bit larger, but the bolt pattern is also bigger and wouldn't fit without a plate of some type. I actually compared the M30 (I have one that was purchased in error) to my bored TB and its still a bit larger, so I wouldn't necessarily rule out any gains from it. Another problem is the fact that it has no vacuum lines anywhere. You'd need to drill and set something up for these, as well as the coolant lines (although you could probably just omit this and mate the two outside of the TB).
