Im yet to get a hold of the guy who's mate bore's out the throttle bodies... I dont know if he's a professional or just doing it as a side thing.. $100 is cheap for this mod, but i know nothing of the workmanship/quality.. so when i find out, i'll tell ya's all about it.. Just out of curiosity, providing this deal is quality.. how many people would be interested in getting there T/B bored out for $100?? I'd say this guy is in the eastern suburbs if anyone wanted to know. I know i would like to get mine done.. would be good to dyno the car before and after to see the results. Cheers. Tim.

If you can get it done for $100 I'd be in. Just depends how big he bores it out.

I'm interested I've been thinking of porting the t/b and plenum for a whie and $100 for t/b is great would get the plenum done as well if he does them.

If your car is turbo'd - I wouldn't waste your money. Years ago when I was using the standard plenum & throttlebody, I was making 320RWHP. I had a couple of mates who'd had theirs ported, and were making less power (260rwhp). This is not to say porting one makes you go slower - what I'm trying to say is that you'll make more gains by making mods elsewhere. Clearly the standard throttlebody on a turbo'd VL is not really a restriction to power. Different story for NA though, because air is not pressurised.
