Hi guys, i'm doing a very mild performance for my car, im driving a 4G15P,Siemens,VDO and would like to change a bigger throttle body from OEM.

Q1 - what TB can i get to Plug & Play to the original base without modifying anything?

Q2 - what is an advisable size of TB to get? if not mistaken, my OEM one is slightly under 2.5 inch and im not too sure cuz it din occur to me till now

simple question hope i get simple answers:itsme:
 
don't. u'll be getting nothing. since u stated that u are DOING a mild performance, i presume ur engine is still stock.

unless u did some porting, balancing internal parts then u might think about over sizing your TB
 
no point bro. if ur tb is bigger, ur intake manifold is still the same size, instead of gaining u will lose out. this is due to the "step effect" or so they call it. (bigger TB, small IM = air flow being restricted)

only diff u will feel is ur pocket getting lighter..

unless u port ur intake manifold to match exactly, and get a set of cams = wah lah!
 
LOL. in all honesty la, dont mean to offend anyone, but if u really wanna mod... throw away the 4g15p la bro...

i had that engine, and it is... just a daily drive.. hehe
 
dun worry, plan to throw edi...hehehe....got plan coming

but this engine damn reliable...tank full can go 600km :biggrin:
 
my VDO last time...haihss....i enjoyed modding and driving it..but my petrol cant compare to PocRoc

Full tank = 340-360km...with a light foot.

but i enjoyed playing corner with it..sometimes i still miss her....
