Thoughts on the upgrade?? Does it require anything besides the throttle body?

Thank you in advance.

 

What are your current mods?

 

Cobb stage 2, do88 Intercoolers , fabspeed sport exhaust, and do88 intake pipes.

 

Will you need a y-pipe and plenum to make these effective ?

 

Save you monies for larger turbochargers..

 

Seems like that's the consensus. With my experience on throttle body upgrade on past cars, it was useless. It's either supercharger or larger turbos as a mechanical upgrade

 

...

 

Thank you Kevin. Don't mess with the TB and Y pipe unless you like wasting money and enjoy headaches

 

LOL!

 

Waste of money

 

Agree

 

Thank you all for the sound advice.

 

actually i had posted about a setup i had for sale and then realized i was on a 997 forum not 996 so i deleted it

 

Realize I am bumping an old thread, but someone pointed me to these 82mm Bosch throttle bodies on eBay:

Are these $130 parts the exact same items that Suncoast and IPD are selling for nearly 3x the price (well over $300)??

 

I suppose its possible if it is truly a Genuine Bosch part.
However, I tried to cut corners on the "equivalent" Bosch wideband O2 sensors and they aren't the exact same..the wires a little too short. Ended up with the Porsche ones instead & returned the "equivalents."

No idea if these would be, and trying to match up Bosch part numbers is not always super easy.
