Pitty cash is an issue, casue you've pretty much wasted some.
Save yourself the greif & don't use it.
So you know, once fitted. The throttle will cause you to lose power accross the rev range & as an added bonus you won't be able to match port the 70mm throttle to the std manifold either.
With tuning, & some luck, you might be able to recover what you'll lose but I doubt it.

is that because im mating it to just a stock manifold and not a skunk2 manifold? or is it just because 70 is too big overall.

70mm is quite big. 65mm would be more ideal, but then again what kind of motor is it?

70mm is unnessesary & too big for std intake manifold. Once match ported you'll break through into the idle bleed bypass port.
Further, you won't see any gain what so ever using such a large throttle on a turbo car.
Use the ITR throttle & intake manifold, it will work better than what you've mentioned & chances are you already have it.

id go out on a (obvious) limb and state that the throttle body is the LAST thing Id alter or otherwise upgrade in my chase for outright power.
