Question on Rx7-Works Throttle Body

I am in need of a new throttle body, and found rotary-works.com has a

nice looking billet TB but the price is quite steep. This is more of a; who has this TB,

and whether you felt gains, it was worthwhile over the OEM TB, and would you

recommend this as a purchase for a semi-stock 94 FD. If not or anyone with a spare

OEM TB, PM me as well please. Thanks for your time!

RW mass products are of questionable quality. Many have reported sealing issues here.
I wouldn't recommend this upgrade for a stockish car. The gains are going to be minimal with adverse affects on driveability, due to the nature of the TB and UIM design.

Until you're pushing an incredible amount of air through the engine, you're not going to see real gains with this.
Your money would be better spent almost anywhere else.

Appreciate the info, I'll stick to stock in that case!
