How much did it gain you spark? I was just wondering if since the air is being rammed in anyway, if the need for larger bores made a difference. I understand that it will be less restriction but wasnt sure if itd be worth the 300 dollar price tag

Re: Throttle body necessary w/ boost?

If i remember correctly, the intake/throttle body is actually one of the crucial parts of a FI setup. I believe that the fact that the air is being compressed actually amplifies the need for a free flowing air intake.
