Looking at going E-throttle/DBW on my setup (forged motor, 272 cams, TME high flows & Link Ecu). For those few that have made the jump, what throttle body have you used? Looking at the 68mm bosch unit (0280750156) as the attachment PCD looks close enough to make it work and new are very competitively priced, or the 6G75 throttle (65mm I think).
Currently running the 65/8mm magna cable throttle body.
Anyone with first hand experience & pro's/con's to share?
And also which pedal did you use (looking at G3 subaru or spare pajero pedal I have here).

I've used a Subaru throttle body from an Impreza/Legacy, as well as a Subaru pedal.

Adaptive Engineering is going to have a kit available for purchase soon which will work in conjunction with our Link ECU adapter, which will re-use the existing throttle wiring in the engine bay to fit these items as a direct plug & play solution, with no re-wiring of the car required.

Will it be bolt in? Been looking at adapter plates to bolt an Evo10 pedal into a 7-9.

Yep, the pedal will be bolt-in, the kit will include a bracket to put the pedal in just the right position. Both myself and Jason have been running this combination for a couple of months now, we always test things on our own vehicles first!

For the throttle body itself, the bolt spacing is pretty much identical - but the Subaru uses M6 bolts, Mitsubishi uses M8 bolts, so what I've done is drilled the mounting holes through the throttle body out to ~9mm on a pillar drill (which takes less than 5 minutes) :)

Which Subaru TB? I might have a ported/polished EJ257 TB from back in my grimspeed days in a box somewhere.

16112-AA170 are the ones we've used, think that 16112-AA210 is very similar from my research.

What’s your timeline on the pedal kit? I need a COP kit and would be interested in combining shipping.

I'll give Jason a whipping and see if we can't get the details finalised over the Christmas period đź‘Ť

I bought the 68mm bosch TB and have a GDI Galant pedal coming from NZ thanks to Adam.
No further progress as house Reno's took precedence over my break.
