I've installed some Toda parts already, but not yet the throttle body. The rest of their parts are amazing! What I know about their throttle body is that it doesn't have the high rpm issue on idle. This is a common problem on such changes. In fact, some manufacturers couldn't make an actual product because of this problem.

On 2016 we got a MoTec M1 ECU so we could tune in locally (here in Peru) and we confirmed that the big throttle body didn't do any difference, so it wasn't only Bob's opinion. I'm very sorry that he passed away last year, great guy.


Also on 2016 we changed the supercharger for a Full Blown Turbo Kit, also from Circuit Motorsports. They made the shortblock with forged and special parts, really an awesome job. We managed to boost it up to 330whp at 21psi, but we prefer not to go any higher because it is not intended for track day, but for rally use. On gravel I boost it down to 8psi (about 260whp) in order not to loose traction. You can find many pics and vids on my facebook and instagram, both @alayzarally
