    Hey every one, I've been thinking of putting twin throttle body's on my vs v6, would it be worth it and is there much work involved? And should I have 70mm throttle body's or 80mm ones and with the 80mm ones do you also need an adaptor plate or something?

    Search and you shall find.

    OT: Worth it? Nope.

    Better off doing exhaust and cold air intake, chip it.

    Not to sure to fork out that sort of money on a stock motor. On a built motor i can under stand. Twin 80 mms, maybe even 70mms is to big. Single 70mm on your standard manifold is good.

    As above, exhaust and intake (cai, spacers and insulators, bigger tb and AFM) as well as a tune. For the same price as a twin throttle body (without throttle bodies) itll be more bang for your buck.
