i remember reading a thread here where a guy with a procharger got that intake plenum and he was very happy with the results. He said he could feel the difference and he could hear the air coming in more. But i dunno i dont have it, just letting you know that there is a member on here that has it but he's FI. He also said it was tuff getting the procharger coupling onto the throttle body because it was just massive. Personally, that's on my future list as well just because im FI and its way cheaper than any other combo.

This is only my opinion, but I believe that if your running FI with that much boost and your engine has the ability to flow that much air that you think a 75mm TB is restricting your performance, than it might be time to get a new intake manifold that will accept an oval TB. It's a bit more money, but why bump from a 75 to a 78, when you can go twin 57mm?

Hey it was me that reported on this product about a month or so ago. I am very happy with it. And your right, my first thoughts when I seen it for the first time and also when I compared it to the stock tb I replaced just the size of it is impressive. I am very happy with it. I mean it looks good, works great, cheaper then accufab and others and yea its bigger by 3mm. I wouldnt worry about losing power, especially sense your going FI someday. You should build your car to a goal, and buying the right parts now will save you time and money in the long run.

yea going with this throttle body will be plenty enough for FI and why would someone buy a new manifold just to fit the twin 57s if he can simply spend 240 or so and get this kit, in my opinion you just can't beat this deal

This might help answer some question's people may be asking themselves when reading over this. This was my thread from a month ago.
