182 Throttle body

[Bobbywhacker]

Was wondering if anyone has done any researching into replacing/modifying the stock throttle body. In my VW days people were always talking about increasing the internal bore etc or fitting them from porsches etc. Has anyone modified their TB or perhaps fitted a V6 one?

Only had my car 2weeks... sheesh!

Increasing the throttle bodies dimentions will reap no benefit as its sufficiently large to support large BHP gains.

Also, its also FBW so disassembly is impossible.

Its crap, VERY crap!!!

cable TBs are the way forward

the systems crap, but i wouldnt say the TB itself is crap.
