the accufab 75mm and accufab plenium are the most expensive, but if your gonna go 75mm then c&L is rated better w the 75mm. thats what i have, couldnt be happier w my choice

You wont get that much with just changing the throttle body. To get the full benefit you also have to change the intake plenum. You also may change the airfilter to a high flow to ensure that you have enough air.

after putting on my exhaust, CAI TB and Plenium, it really woke up my car, i could definately feel a difference in response, plus when i get on it it makes a cool whistle sound at a certain point in the throttle

What is the benefit of going from 70mm to 75 mm?
What is the stock size?

Stock is 65mm. You won't see much with the 5mm difference, but play it safe with the 75mm. C&L is definatly the best. I'm running the MAC combo on mine and have had no problems to this day, but I'd go with the C&L or Accufab though.

Thanks 9gt6.
I might just have to decide which one of the C&L or Accufab combos I like the looks of better.

I have another question about throttle bodies, etc.
SPACERS? What are throttle body spacers for and why might someone want one?

I have the FRPP 70mm t/b and C&L plenum for sale if you are interested. I have since upgraded, so I don't need them anymore. PM if interested.
