have the machine shop do it for you... they can cut the plate for you as well.

Why bored out a K8 TB(55mm) when you can pick up a Millenia TB (60mm) at the junkyard for a few bucks? Then in the future you can bore out the Millenia TB even farther if needed.

Yes, it bolts right up. Only the throttle body from the regular 2.5L KL Millenia will work. I've never tried the MilleniaS one, but I would assume it's different and will not fit.
You cannot use the probe/mx6 ones because of how the IAC is placed.

It's like doing a ZE swap, except just the TB so it's plug and play!

I am using the cold kit from outlaw to replace the TB Gasket. I would like to take the whole TB a apart any tips outthere the one I brought is very dirty. Yes the TB I am boring out is the Milinia one. So I need the replacement TB flap or plate.

Greg 94 PGT on Probetalk has been boring out KL TBs for years. You could get the whole thing done thru him or he might just get you a plate, you'd have to PM him over there to find out.

Re: Mx3 Bored V6 Throttle Body Question?
I'm having idle problems with my ze bored out TB without IAC... I've been running a k8 bored out TB with IAC for years and it's been fine...
the main difference between the 2 TB's is the throttle cable holder (2 step vs. 1 step)
