What intake manifold is it? A skunk 2?

I could tell by looking at my skunk 2 manifold that a larger throttle body would make a difference, but not nearly as much as what the d16y8 would (seems like the reservoir for the air inside the manifold is better balanced on the skunk2 version; hence probably why it flows better).

My buddy bores out throttle bodys, and he was doing some comparisons on a dyno with a S2000 w/ a comptech supercharger. It gained 11whp with a 4mm oversize bore on the throttle body.

I run a 64mm T-body on most my setups, but jumping up to a 78mm on my next one.

Holy ----! I used a 68mm and my little B7 loved it. I had to bore the ---- out of the stock manifold to match it. I guess you have that custom manifold that might fit a bigger TB? I can't see a stock manifold being bored much farther than 68mm. That was almost the size of the plenom as it was. Any bigger and it would have made a bottle neck type design.
