Ok guys I have a question. I have heard that the skunk 2 throttle body throws cel's and has a rough idle. I have heard of people putting the Acura Mdx and tl type s throttle bodies on the 8th gen civic si's. Comments, concerns, suggestions?

I have done the TL on an 8th gen myself. No quality and performance can beat OEM when that's an option. I know that the DBW is a real beast to work with.
I am about to post the 72mm skunk2 for the k series.
I haven't found out the answer yet, but it always seems that OEM is the best if you can choose that route. The Research and Development, let alone the standards for their products are typically much higher than any aftermarket company because of the wide range of the possible conditions the product(s) will undergo. I have yet to figure out the best TB option since I'm running the stock 07 Si TB. But these guys will take care of you and let you know what's best. I'm in for info!
What did you have to do for the TL throttle body? Was it a direct fitment? What size is it?
I'll link it here.

I ran the TSX TB when I was all motor, I'm on a MDX/ZDX TB now supercharged, I'm running the p2r adapter, but the adapter tapers back to the stock RBC inlet size, so I had the adapter matched to the TB without the taper so it matches better with my Kraftwerks/skunk2 IM. And I have two p2r thermal gaskets also, one on either side of the adapter. Oh and you will need to either install a screw in fitting where the MAP sensor hole is, or Innovative Motorsports Technologies sells a nice CNC fitting that doesn't require tapping it, just push in and uses stock MAP sensor screw hold down, which is what I use.

I believe this is the right adapter here: http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-307860.aspx
