Are the throttle bodies from a NA the same as the Turbo? I want to get a throttle body modded but I need my rx-7 as a daily driver, I was curious if I could pick one off of the local junk yards, have the mods done and slap it on to my car. Reason I ask is cause ther is never a Turbo model in the Junkyards where I live.

No kidding Mike! your in sunnyvale? You wouldn't happen to be that White FC TII that I keep seeing driving on Hollenbeck and Mathilda ave? I want my car to sound like that one.

hehe oh well. Dude I heard that FC again just now!!!! that exhaust note, and BOV!!!
