I have fitted a Ford Mustang 65 mm throttle body as shown below. The stock throttle body is a 56 mm unit. Below is a dyno comparing both throttle bodies at 20 psi. Actually the boost pressure was just a tad lower on the Mustang TB run. Pretty much no doubt it is an improvement. Not a bad result for $30!

Also, some have put forth the theory that decreasing velocity (due to the larger diameter) would adversely affect performance. I see nothing to support this theory in these results across the entire power band.

Hello Shawn ,

It doesn't affect power, it affects transition time, if you still want a bit more, put a bigger pipe to the throttle body Less fat more filling ...

Maybe that graph is showing us about when the stock TB starts to become the restriction...+10HP and +11TQ for $30 and no bottom-end tradeoff....I'll take that any day.

Yep, I was thinking 350 hp is about the point when one needs to start looking at a bit bigger throttle body.

Nice improvement.

Since mustang TBs are rare here and BMW parts are all over the place, does anybody know what is the part number of BMW TB that can be fitted to 951?

I'm going to order 2 of those TB's soon to get to Holland, want me to order one for you as well and send it on to Slovenia?


Just waiting for Shawn pictures on how to adept the TPS from the turbo and get it on the mustang Throttle Body!
