Title: Big Bore Throttle Bodies
Post by: zywiec on 03 August 2007, 21:58:44
hi all
Got myself a second throttle body and am looking for a company to bore it out polish it for me etc.

Does anyone here have any recommendations, or advice.

cheers.

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

Hi,

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.
