I'm in the same boat and i found one i liked for ≈ 200$ but o apparently didn't bookmark it!

It will be a day of downtime and doing my own labor. I changed the head cover not long ago. After watching the YouTube videos and determining 6/10 difficulty i decided to save $200 on the part.

It will be about 90 extra minutes to change the Valvetronic motor v the head cover but it'll just be one day out of service for the car.

I usually do this sort of job in two shifts with a break over night so i can finish strong.

Any chance you're near the Midwest we could tag team on a pair. Always easier as a team.

Oh; the main reason I'm ok with finding the best copy cat option is the car had been driving ok in backup throttle plate mode (other than cold starts which I'm sure you're aware!)
