Default Does anyone use the Spoon throttle body?

Anyone using the Spoon airduct, filter throttle body manifold setup?

i'm starting with the airduct and filter... read some US posts that the throttle body doesnt make much difference in HP gains but does it give a better response?

is it worth parting 400 quid for??? or should i just stick with the stock??? and put the money else where?

The Spoon TB is one of those things out there which is never really proven. I think someone on here has one and said it was very noticable but not so sure myself. The only effect will be from the design of the internals rather than the incresed diameter.

The way I see it is that, ok you have incresed the body diameter, but I think the inlet manifold which it bolts to would have to be matched or its the next restriction...

Willing to be proven otherwise of course, but for

Would the ECU need to be flashed or remapped if the diameter of the TB is increased?

I have a Spoon TB.

It won't do much for you unless you have other mods that can benefit from it.

so if you install their manifold (which i will be later on the year)then it's worth it?

Oh another thing came across J's racing and they do a throttle body as well 64mm and 66mm any good?

looks like i have 400 to spend somewhere else...

Mark is referring to the intake manifold, not the exhaust manifold.

Steven - have you had your intake manifold bore matched?
