why tell him that? kinda rude. I'm sure he knows how engines work if he has a power goal. All car models take to modifications differently.

That being said, the Q45 throttle body is a good choice for that kinda power, although the stock one can handle it.

i dont think its rude... anyone can have a power goal..its just picking a number. to figure out what kind of tb or size of tb you want you need to know how engines work so you can figure out the right setup for his "power goal".

i didnt think it was rude at all...simply stating that instead of someone saying "go get a q45" and he does and then he uses 2.5inch IC pipes and FMIC and defeats the entire purpose of the q45...why not say learn how the different sizes will effect the engine and go from there? :dunno:

I would hope he knows to use a little bigger than 2.5" IC pipes. lol.

like i said...his question didnt have much knowledge input. and i didnt mean my remark to be rude or anything i was just trying to help. you know the saying. give a man a fish he eats for a night....teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. know what im sayin? ;)

that's not very nice.... when i came on here i didn't know an intercooler from a radiator... well i did but you know what i mean :) my hp goals were and still are the same, 500-600... now i want 600+ but anyways the guy's asking a legit question, no reason to belittle him.

i purchased an 80mm throttle body off of ebay, check this thread for pics:
