So what are the major benefits on a blown application? I know what an larger TB does on NA cars as as I have one my viper v10. As this is my only blower car are the benefits the same?

Also, thank you NW for your support on this platform, without you this platform would have died years ago.

Ditto!! Would love to know if there's dyno testing of the new crossover intake manifolds and this new throttle body...

They have info posted on their site, except what is the mb part number for the 83mm throttle body for those sourcing it themselves?

I didn't see any performance gains listed on the Needswings website. Will the ECU need to be tuned in order for the idle and drivability to remain civil or is this a bolt on affair. That is a huge increase in airflow and with a CAI you should be looking at a serious increase in HP.

The write up on your site says an increase in volume, surely that should be an increase in area?

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

The prices for the TB are all over the place. OEM Mercedes is just over a grand. An eBay seller has a new OEM/OES, whatever that means, for half that price, reman is about $200 and used is slightly less.

Rob what TB's have you been using, new used or remanufactured ? OEM is usually my first choice but $1100 bucks is a good chunk of change. Have you used reman units before ?

I can definately see a TB, CAI, a pulley and tune in my future.

I have not purchased yet but here are two options for a new throttle body for only $70-$80.

Hello, I know this is an old thread it am interested in this Throttle body upgrade down the road. Being we usually need to add fuel for mods such as a 178mm pulley with crossover intake manifolds, I assume we may need to add more fuel to adjust for such a huge addition in airflow? such as having a fuel pressure regulator? Thanks again your the man Rob!
