Toni won't even return my logs to me anymore after I scheduled time on his stupid calendar.

"Oh I'll be busy tuning local cars today so responses may be delayed"

Never one email back after that one. Customer service went to shit as well as their parts. Glad I didn't get anything but a tune.

I've asked this same question myself, as a 68mm TB will flow enough air to support well over 300 HP. What is the size of the MAF anyway? If it's any smaller than the TB a bigger TB isn't going to really help. Unless your going big boost I really can't see the point. But it ain't my money...

Stock MAF housing is 2.5" (63.5mm) IIRC.

There was another vendor working on an oversized throttle body. They spent considerable time on it and couldn't make the car run smooth... Even using ecutek. If Toni managed to find the secret, while destroying engines and burning all ft86 bridges, I would be very surprised.

What has happened to the posts from the pioneering member from NY, who supposedly ordered the FA20Club throttle body?
