Professional products 52mm twin blade review = questionable assembly
So I bought new from summitracing after porting my upper tpi plenum to 52mm a Professional products 52 mm blade throttle body.
Twice now with 2 diffrent pp tbs I've experienced sticking while the engine is at full temp.
At first I thought this might be a vacuum issue but nope heat caused them both to stick. IMO it's pi$$ poor Chinese quality control issues. The ID and OD specifications must be out of whack. Expansion and contraction issues.
When cold they function smooth as silk. I pulled all the cables tv,throttle,cc, tps!
Thoughts or similar experiences guys?

Well the summit house brand tb is just a pp unit minus the sticker. The boxes are even the same size to the t. The green loc tight is even the same lol.
Its always hit or miss with china's stuff. I've noticed the taiwan stuff is usually of higher quality in general than china fob products. china freight aka harborfreight immediately comes to mind.
