he’s just mad because he has a slow fbod and wishes he had a dsm:nohomo: bump for fixing boost leaks and finding more power. always a good thing :tup:

And if they advertised on any forums I was activley posting on I would flame them also…
If they named this “the greatest fucking throttle body gasket ever by STM” I wouldn’t have even posted…
But by putting Mil Spec in the name you are clearly implying something…and it is not mil spec so this is false advertising…

product questions are not shitting threads up and you damned well know this. Is it a bit silly of a point? IMO yes. Is it valid though, technically yes. Get over yourself.

1. :picard: for creating drama.
2. :picard: its not even made by STM, just resold.
3. :picard: “OH NOES…somebody is implying something with their company name and branding to help sell their parts”.
Now that we have discovered that these parts are in fact **NOT** Military grade hardware for your 4G63 powered engine ( A question I am sure everyone was looking for an answer to ), let’s focus on the part and the purpose.
