Put your money elsewhere (gears, sticky tires, 1.6 RR's).

Re: 52mm throttle body

A larger TB will make your car "snappier" when you hit the throttle. For example, at 20% throttle with a 52mm TB, you are letting more air in than with 20% throttle with a stock 48mm unit. It may not make your car much faster now, but it will feel faster and make it a little more fun to drive.
