Big Bore Throttle Bodies

Are they really worth it?
Will you notice the difference?

Hi,
   I think this is the one Dazzler is referring to :y.

Yeah in contact with this guy said he will do em for 45 + p & p as i already have the throttle bodies but i wanted to shop around abit first. He doesnt bore them out just smoothes and modifys to give smoother faster air flow, he clams that engines without a turbo dont benifit form the extra diameter so not required, it does make sense and ill probably go with him.

@ sonic_boom

not sure i came from M3 ownership and the guys on that forum raved about them all the time said they gave the best results from all there other mods so i thought id give em ago on my mega.

Doubt TBs will make much difference. Its the exhaust manifolds that need work.
