    Is the throttle body going to cause a restriction in the new setup you are planning? How much power are you hoping to make eventually as I think the standard throttle body can cope with much more than standard.

    I want to increase the air flow with ported inlet manifold, ported head, camshafts to have max power with less turbo boost, that's my point

    I was just asking as if you open up everything on the inlet side of things, you are really going to affect low speed running of the engine as its not going to be filling the cylinders as efficiently, and the fuel/air mix is going to be dropping out of suspension.

    Yes, you are right, maybe it is too much. A ported head and camshafts are enough. Thanks by the way

    mpampis, I recomment you to use a throttle body from a Gtv 2.0 v6 tb. It's the easiest to fit on your inlet manifold, it doesn't need to change the throttle sensor's position.

    thanks Dimitris, do you know the diameter of gtv's throttle body? well, the point now it is a bit difficult, i send the manifold for painting and i won't cut it for changing the flange. the only way to change it, is if the throttle fits directly to the bolts in the manifold. do you know any other details?
