I agree- sold my old TB on nasioc and will be upgrading it as well. The intake mani wouldn't really be complete with out a large TB-- almost foolish w/o one lol

I mean I'd say why not you know? If you're already doing all of this you might as well upgrade the throttle body as well. I mean If I were doing it and I had the cash, i'd do it.

thanks longsti- it really is the best way. I've learned so much and now I personally will know how it's put together. Two years- damn bro what all did you do? I bet it was fun once you finally got in the drivers seat and fired it up

I duno, i think i'm going to leave it stock TB for now b/c I'm ported and polished.. i've thought about upgrading it though.. what do you think I should do?

Yeah VR4's are hard because half of the engine isn't visible. Like the rear turbo is by the fire wall and to access it and all the piping going to it is hard! The front part is super easy, but the rest is hard!

You changing the throttle bodies too?

yeah they are kind of tough, but everything is pretty straight forward. It's not as tough as yours, i've never pulled my engine and I don't see any reason to for the stuff I'm doing unless i have to replace pistons or something like that. The tough part of these cars is just making sure you tune it right, they are really touchy and if you run them lean they go kaboom pretty easily. Fuel system to be adequate with boost is VERY important

Join me as I continue the power rebuild of my WRX. This shows the intake manifold removal, finishing of the injector removal, and TGV removal. Awesome!
