I have a source to bore the throttle body on my Renix, but need to get a butterfly for the increase in diameter. I know with my 99 cherokee the throttle body is 60mm at the butterfly and necks down to 58mm. I have two questions on this. Can I use the butterfly from my spare new style throttle body when boring out the Renix one and if so, would I bore the renix to 60mm? Thanks in advance!

The shaft has a slot in middle of it. Theoretically if it's possible to swap butterflies. You would need to cut the slot bigger so the bigger butterfly need to go through.

You'll love the booster.
The 746 injectors from jhc7399 on here are great. Throttle body should wait.
