Anybody ever get the Blau high-flow throttle body for their 12v V

Hi Eric, 
Upon the advice of Ned Ritchie at Intended Acceleration, I had my throttle 
body bored out by a local machine shop.    It was out of the car for another 
job.    It made a very nice difference in the low end.    Seriously 
noticeable.     Sadly, you get used to having the extra power soon enough and 
still want more.

Can't say if the Blau version will be better or worse.   My machinist bored 
on the original holes center which limited the amount it could be opened 
somewhat.   I suspect it may be possible to bore "off center" a bit and get a 
larger hole- and more power still?    The wall thickness on one side limits 
how far you can go in that direction, but not in all directions.    There may 
be other considerations which limit bore size, although I didn't see any when 
I looked.  The butterfly is still significantly larger than the bore.

My throttle body is back on the car where further looking is seriously 
inconvenient 

HTH
Craig
