BMW M3 Turbo Throttle Body

The intercooler piping is three-inch, so instead of choking it down with a 64mm (2.5-inch) throttle body, SFR installed an Accufab 75mm (2.95-inch) version at the intake manifold. Since Project M3's got the AEM EMS controlling idle, we went with the non-idle control valve 'Race' version. To make it work, I needed a factory Ford TPS sensor, which I got from the dealer and wired in, as well as the throttle wheel and flange, which SFR fabricated.
