    Default VL turbo throttle body same size as N/A?

    Just wondering if the standard turbo TB is the same size as the N/A one.
    Reason for asking is i have an oversize TB, about 70mm i think, that bolts straight up..

    So are the TB's interchangeable?

    cheers

    So are the stock turbo TB that came on the turbo VL's bigger & a straight bolt on to the stock NA VL motors?

    they are exactly the same size and are identical parts. so puting a turbo TB onto a N/A offers no power enhancements

    Just thought id add the 2 litre pintara tbs are a direct bolt on to vls and there bigger.
    the germans designed it, the aussies built it, the japs got it moving and the wogs got it dosing...

    @starfire.

    The reason I asked is because I already have the pintara throttle body which bolts straight onto the N/A and wanted to see if it would fit turbo manifolds

    @bowdown. Xf TB aren't a straight bolt up while the pintara one fits straight on. That was my reasoning for it
