Buy grinding stones and some flap wheels, go to town on your stock one.

Nice difference<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

Back side of mine's done, can't wait to get the time to do the front part (also: knife edge the throttle plate)

And then after you ruin your stock one you can buy one. What else is done to your car?

Do a spare.

Keep the throttle plate in there so you don't bore where it seals and screw up your idle.

It's a really easy/cheap mod to do. Sure, it may not be as good as a straight through 75 mm TB, but it costs a heck of a lot less and helps out.

I dont think you need to worry about a throttle body until you change your MAF, intake and such.

i agree, right now it won't do much for you. Your intake is still going to limit the air going in. Put that money towards a good intake and then worry about the throttle body and a maf sensor
