a mate of mine had one along with a CAI extractors and diff gears and it actuallt slowd the car down, took it of and the was fast again, figure that? maybe they lean the car out to much and the ecu doesnt compensate

i was under the impression that you had to get the ECU modified to compensate for the larger throttle body???

correct me if im wrong?

thats what my mechanic told me when i asked if a terra yella tb would be a good mod.

I have a 75mm TB on my VR, more responsive but not a big power difference.

I reckon no more then 75mm, I think above that it's no difference or you might lose power. If you want to properly done, go for the twin bodies and chip, that will make some difference.
