It isnt going to hurt or make lower power!It may only raise small gain.That is probably why they arent so commonly used.They arent exactly necessary to make big power and for cost vs. return or gains, they are probably not the best bang for buck mod around.XR6 Turbo Developments where going to be developing one, but due to lack of interest because of the cost for the small gain, they didnt proceed.But, again - if you already have it, then go for it. I would think it would need a small retune, but unsure sorry!

Guest Guests Posted 13/02/09 02:43 AM Share Posted 13/02/09 02:43 AM The standard TB isn't a restriction so I doubt there would be a gain at all. Worth a shot seeing as it was free though...

Never the less it should be interesting test. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54518-bigger-throttlebody/#findComment-822185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
