RE: Throttle Body for V6?

50mm is slightly too big for a naturally aspirated V6 (without other
extensive modifications - cam, heads, etc.).

Stock V6 size has been from 42mm-46mm.

Subject: DML: Throttle Body for V6?

I was looking at different throttle bodies for my V6 dak. I noticed
theres 48mm and 50mm bore I assume this is an improvement since the
stock body has a 46mm bore. My question is if I upgrade, will this
affect my gas milage? also, would it hurt to go with the 50mm? I've
heard some people try to shy away from the 50mm, but since theres no
price difference i would like the 50mm if I can get away with it.

Thanks,
