throttle body polishing

[nottsgreent5]

hi all has anyone had any results from running a polished/gas flowed throttle body

[t5 pete]

Are you meaning with the standard one as most people tend to fit the 3" one

[nottsgreent5]

Yes mate it is standard 1

i polished & cleaned up the butterfly on my 3" while it was off, but tbh being such a small piece of pipe doubt it will make much difference compared to the rest of the piping the air goes thru

[t5 pete]

Havent got a clue on the standard one but have heared good reviews on the larger one

porting and polishing is pretty much a waste of time on a Turbo car from what I hear ?

Simple solution... bigger, badder turbo !

Mine is a rebored stock one, without the plastic lump in it.

No bigger externally, but noticeably bigger internally, remember to open up the inlet manifold too! ;)

Never noticed a plastic lump in mine is this in the manifold or the body

Its on the throttle body flap, it reduces the amount of air going though the body at small throttle openings

some early t5 throttles had the plastic bit, my 2,5 3" tb has it to
