I have a spoon throttle body. Dont bother spending the money unless you are going to go all the way.

I got the spoon 70mm taperd TB, got it off another member here.

I couldn't promise you that it makes a noticable difference but I did make 244 at the last dyno with that being the only mod - make of that what you will.

Spoon ECU, Spoon (insert your engine component here ), Spoon wash mitts
etc.

I think Kiwi did the sums - that if you picked each component with the most bhp gains claimed by the manufacturer - the S would have 437hp at the wheel.

... peak

Big gains on the S2K to be had in the midrange. Plenty of people with NA tunes claim in excess of 20 BHP extra in the midrange. Thats certainly not to be sniffed at.

Even a mugen ECU apparently gives marginal gains on a UK car but exceptional gains on a JDM.

There are literally hundreds on the NA Forum.

In things like the VAFC tuning threads people with Intake/manifold/testpipe/Exhaust with the VAFC tuned accordingly see very nice gains. take a peek
