To get a good looking dbw throttle body is $700-$800, Holley sponsored this one. I've had mechanical tb's on turbos and blowers without a single issue.

It's a 92mm. The intake can accept a 102mm but since it's under boost instead of sucking through it like a roots I kept it smaller to keep the intake plumbing easier to deal with.

A 92mm should be ok. I start to worry when I see smaller engine with the big 102mm TBs, especially when using a manual transmission. The 102s flow a lot of air at low throttle input and it becomes hard to drive from a stop. I have a customer who had exactly that issue and now that he has a stock 90mm DBW, he is much happier.

So happy you are starting to crank on this Jody. :Tomcat:

What is the compression on the engine and how much psi you planning on throwing at it?

9.7:1, and maybe 14-15 psi max. Should live a long time.
