I would suggest a 65mm , unless you plan on doing major engine work in the near future, get a 65 mm TB and a 73-76 mm mass air meter, that will really open it up.

Iv been told by the big guys on here, dont go to large it will hurt your car no help it.
I would get a 65mm and get a mass air conversion , your gonna need it sooner or later.
