This throttle body is solved and remains happy with the ecu and allows the DCAI to exploit its abilities. i have not dynoed it yet and probably will not as every time we install it we do more to the car than just the throttle body itself as so much needs to come off the car that we always end up porting the s/c runners and such at the same time.

Also, thank you NW for your support on this platform, without you this platform would have died years ago.
reduced restriction and ability to feed more air/oxygen, yes, same benefits blown versus naturally aspirated. larger bore means less air friction and thus lower temps as well. all around good-ness.
thank you, and thank you for supporting us! we have more up our sleeves yet

we installed both onto a customers car here and will have pretty datalog graphs once the roads clear, in progress of another 10" of snow here today

ECU and drivability remains happy

sure, well both, thank you for the correction, i will edit it for you.
