Default Upper & Lower Intake+Throttle Body

Been looking around for a upper and lower intake combonation. The Typhoon set caught my eye, I also have been looking at the Trick Flow kit. And I am confused on which size/brand of TB would suit my car, it's stock so far but im starting to add parts pretty rapidly over the winter. So something that will be good for stock motor and plus other parts I will shortly be putting on. Any experiences with any of these or have any suggestions are appreciated.

Well what do you plan on doing over the winter? the size of your TB will be decided on what you plan to mod on your car, once you start messing with your cyl heads and a supercharger your going to be looking at a bigger TB then if you just planed on putting on a CAI , Intake combo(upper lower) and some pullies.

Eventually I will be doing turbo, but through this next year I plan on just doing mostly the modest stuff. Exhaust, Ignition, CAI engine wise the rest i'll be doing suspension, brakes, driveshaft, cosmetics etc. Until I have the cash to do a rebuild, new heads, turbo. Nothing with an insane HP gain for at least 12 months.

If you're going to keep it simple, get a simple TB, once you get wild and need more flow, go with a wilder larger TB. Best bet will be to get an adequate TB not a gigantic one until you do upgrading like your planned turbo.

So what size do you think would pair well with the lesser mods I plan on doing here withing the next couple months? I'll be doing the U/L intake the same time I do the TB and plenum.
