The prices for the TB are all over the place. OEM Mercedes is just over a grand. An eBay seller has a new OEM/OES, whatever that means, for half that price, reman is about $200 and used is slightly less.

Rob what TB's have you been using, new used or remanufactured ? OEM is usually my first choice but $1100 bucks is a good chunk of change. Have you used reman units before ?

I can definately see a TB, CAI, a pulley and tune in my future.
