Performance 65mm throttle body

[Carbon-Rain]

The question is are these "performance" throttle body's any good? I have seen numerous offers for them but none of them have any proof to backup their claims.

I am not talking about throttle bodies I talking about just swapping the standard one with one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clio-172-.../251255058708?ssPageName=ADME:B:WNARL:GB:1123

Thoughts and comments welcomed. Link is just an example.

Surely after the ecu has adjusted to the new TB, it'll be the same as using the standard one?

My thoughts exactly a get rich quick scheme

well it has been done in the "correct" method, but the stock TB isn't a restriction, so its a waste of time IMO

As Fred has said, the stock tb does not restrict flow - you do get the effect it has improved things if you fit a bigger one mind, but thats only because the butterfly is physically larger and for every % you open the throttle, a larger one will naturally let in more air - what this tends to give is a jerky throttle as it gives the equivilent of opening the throttle sharper.

On WOT though, it won't give a benefit, as the standard tb can flow plenty - the crappy inlet design is the big restriction IMO
