Edel and BBK are the same. I have the Holley and am happy with it but I really see no difference between that and the BBK. If I remember correctly the BBK is even cheaper than the Holley so I would go with BBK. Hope that helps a little.

I just bought a BBK 58mm TB and IM happy with it. What ever brand you get look it over good. check the threads, and make sure the plates dont bind in the bore. These are some of the problems Ive been told about that you can incounter with TBs.

The cleanair cover on mine says "BBK POWER-PLUS" I wondered about that. The ones Ive seen all said "BBK/ELDEBROCK".

Good luck!

I dont think it makes a difference, the TPIS one is only like $280 out of their catalog and I think it includes the air foil.

The TPIS tb is $280 and you have to send them your old one, apparently they hone it and put in new butterflies. Also do any of the other ones include the IAC housing or do you have to use the old one??
