    I think it depends on mods you have done in all honesty, wont notice a massively huge difference

    In my own words:

    Your car has a single throttle body (same as the VTS and other saxo models)
    porting and polishing it I beleive will just improve the air flow at that point? So
    technically should improve engine performance. I wouldnt imagine it would be
    much, but maybe a slight increase in throttle response.

    Sure somebody else can explain better than me bud!

    basically mate all a port and polish does, is help the air to flow better with less resistance, which should lead to smoother delivery of air to the engine, but..... you will not feel a difference in performance imo

    what reg is your saxo mate as the mk2's have a plastic t/b anyway, so they cannot be done!

    personally theyre 'overhyped' by this forum, largely due to the fact two users actively sell them.

    A BIGGER area for gas to flow iis not allways better, gas velocity is important in performance not just how much you get in through.

    Theres a huge debate that will go on but due to the fact people sell them i cant be arsed to have a huge argument

    Plus the fact that the throttle plate is the same size, so no real potential for any gains.

    The arse-dyno is *not* a calibrated measuring instrument
