Has anyone upgraded their throttle body ?.

Which make is worth getting ?, size ?.

Any differences in throttle response or performance gain ?

I've read a few articles on 2ski and can't seem to decide myself on any of the posts.

I'm looking for a simple bolt on rather than a port match.

All feedback appreciated.

I seem to recall the consensus on s2ki being that if you want any meaningful gains, get a supercharger.

So the tuners fall into two categories:-
- Those who want a better sound (induction/CAI/snorkel & exhausts);
- Those who want big power.


The engine is so highly tuned that I think you'll struggle to get much more out of it without affecting either reliability/longevity or driveability.

Thanks for the advice... I'll have to do some more research... I'm really looking for more throttle response at mid range than BHP gain.

What do you think for a N/A engine revving to 9000rpm is more air better ?

I'd say cold air will be better (denser = more oxygen per volume)...if you can find one to fit without modification (or if you're happy to tweak the bumper/bonnet), I'd go for a snorkel-style CAI...they've got the best rep on s2ki.

Best of luck,

Martin.
