   Is replacing and upgrading the throttle body worth while doing? If it is anyone know where to buy one or would it be better to take it to a garage and get them to buy and fit it? Just making a list of things that i can do when i buy my vtr after christmas when i have more money. Cheers

   Would independant throttle bodies give better performance than an upgraded normal throttle body. As in having it cleaned and made bigger?

   having a standard throttle body cleaned and boared wont give much bhp 2-3 at most if that and thats if its done correctly as diy jobs could lose bhp, having individual throttle bodies will give a big difference especially with cams but it dont come cheap

   ohh yes but only when coupled up with wild cams and head work then remap,
   
   Say a VTS with the above mods can produce upwards of 180bhp NA
