i've done it to mine although i have an n/a but the only bad effect i can see so far is my idle is a little high but i have not attributed that to the tb mod as at the same time i ported my dynamic chamber and the tb. i also have suspitions that it is an intake leak throtle responce was better better kick at high rpm, but i did have to advance my timing to compensate for the extra air coming in and i still am fighting with the tuning but i feel nexst to the e-fan mod it was the best (because i like to work on the car)

I did it, and I really like it. A little rough when cold but so what. It doesn't get to cold here, so cold is a relative term. The positives totally offset the negatives in my eyes. Response is amazing now. Go for it. I got the instructions from RETeds site: http://fc3s-pro.com/ and they were great. It wasn't that hard to do at all. Thanks Ted.

i used just a dremel and some of their metal cutting bits it was rather easy you just have to take your time and watch how the air flow would be there realy isn't a need to take out to much material but on the dynamic chamber there is a couple of stops on the secondary (outside) openings to the intake manifold. i just took out as much of that stop as i felt comfortable with and smoothed the flow until my finger did not feel a stop any more, did a back cut and ported to that size then back cut again for better flow out of the area and viola. now the tb itself was a bit different. what i did there was just take out the little steps at the front and back of the throtle plate i left the actual stop for the plate alone so i would not mess with the oem throtle stop. and opened up the back of the tb more to create a small vacume. well this has been long so i'm done.
