HELLO?? MCFLY...ANYONE HOME????
How can anyone in their right mind say that one TB is better than another
when different engines (depending on the buildup) require different flow
rates??
Yeah, an F&B may have a higher flow rate, but putting a 52mm on a stock 318
will kill the low end torque. EVEN AN IDIOT LIKE ME KNOWS THIS!! And if
you put on a fastman, you'll see a big difference because your using a
throttle body with the PROPER flow rate.
So why are we even having this debate??? I evidently thought the better
throttle body was determined by the needs of the engine.
PLEASE let me know if I'm missing something here.
