I am going to try out the BBK TB. I have had a Xmetal single blade and was wondering if anyone has had them both and what there thoughts might be on them.
Thanks

I have the X-Metal TB and while it looks good I can say it's probably the one mod that I would not do again as the gains vs some of the issues are not worth it in my opinion.

I didn't have issues with mine (Xmetal). At first, there may be some high idle or sticking idle return but a couple of hundred miles will finish seating the throttle blades so that there aren't any idle issues. It's extremely important to follow the directions to the letter, especially the part about centering the throttle blade with paper. I don't know what your expectations are for throttle bodies but it's not going to add much - 10 hp is very hard to feel. Throttle response is the main thing.
