SE throttle body upgrade question
I haven't had much luck searching for an answer to my question:
Will a s4 turbo II throttle body work as an upgrade to a gsl-se or would I have to stick to using the throttle body from an NA?

Ok maybe I was misinformed in my readings. When searching on this a couple weeks ago there were several posts where people mentioned they had performed the s4 tb swap on their se's. Supposedly they flow over 30% more than the small se tb. Some mentioned the tb + s4 upper intake was an even better option since it flowed more as well.
There was no mention of the t2 units however. If someone in the know could enlighten the rest of us it would be appreciated. I'll admit I'm clueless

the TB will not fit an S3, you have to use the whole intake. I got an S5 intake when i was thinking about doing this upgrade... but i decided just to get a s4 or s5 13bt, also you would have to use an s4 TB.
You can only use the S4 Throttle bodies with the S4 upper and lower manifolds. The throttle body will not fit on the SE plenum and no you cannot just bolt on the upper S4 manifold to the lower SE manifold.
