RE: Throttle body suggestions
Would there be any bad reprocussions from getting an "oversized" MAF (83mm or so) but having a TB that fits your car's needs (70mm). Because it seems like the "excess" air comming through the MAF wouldn't be let through to mess with the engine, because the TB would only let so much in.
Is my thinking correct or completely off?

There is really no reason to go with that big of a MAF if you only have a 70MM tb... The 70MM tB is only going to flow how much a 70MM MAF can, maybe a few more.. If you have a 70MM TB, get a 73MM MAF, or 76 at most, 83 is way too big and not worth it.
