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
