throttle body

[Richard Hoffman]

actually the 90 10v should have the largest Throttle Body available for that
particular bolt pattern.  The turbo cars use a circular single plate
throttle body about 55-60mm rough estimate whereas the N/A motors all use a
progressive dual plate with 38mm and 52mm I believe.  They are not
interchangeable and even if the bolt holes lined up, the manifold's port
would not be even close.

If you want to do a throttle body upgrade you could theoretically bore it
out.  Knife edging the butterflies might give a tiny increase in flow as
well.

Good luck!
