i've seen that kit before and would like to know more about it. Otherwise i don't think anyone makes a bolt on replacement TB for the FC, but doing the TB mod and porting it is free and helps alot

What does the rest of your setup look like? I wouldn't run this unless you have a bridgeported setup or the like.

No there aren't, and you can't machine the TB any bigger. There isn't enough metal between the three bores to allow a worthwhile increase in bore diameter. The entrances to the throttles can be shaped for better flow, but that's about it.

Keep in mind that most highly modded Turbos still use the stock TB. On a NA engine the TB is huge and is not a restriction.

The Weber-style TB significantly changes the engine's characteristics, with increased top-end and losses down low. While these set-ups are a great replacement for a carb, on later EFI engines the gains aren't worth it unless you've got some serious porting to go with it.

3rd gen throttle bodies have larger secondary bores, so do the 3 rotor TB's. I think it would be a bitch to get them to bolt up though.

I see tweakit finaly updated their website pretty nicely. FYI if you do use their TB, you will need a stand alone computer. you'll also need to buy a TPS ( I dont think its included, but is included with some stand alone comps).
