Default question on installing bigger throttle body

I've been thinking about getting a 70mm throttle body but I wasn't sure if it will bolt up to the stock intake without any problems. I'm pretty sure it will be ok but I wanted to ask before getting it and finding out there were gonna b issues. My other question is if I get the throttle body, should I also get a bigger maf too? Thanks

what do you need a bigger throttle body for? If you're stock, a throttle body won't make any difference. What are your mods?

No mods to the engine yet and only reason why I was gonna get a bigger one for the stock motor is because someone told me I should do it for better throttle response but I wasn't quite sure if I should get it

You you're good if you're stock. Once you start installing Heads, Cam, and Intake. you will a bigger MAF and throttle body. If you're car isn't feeling very responsive, clean the maf with MAF cleaner and clean the throttle body with throttle body cleaner
