Just a quick question, but can you run throttle bodies and a turbo? surely it just means that there is 4 individual bodies is stead of one?

Will that make any more power differance the just one throttle body?

Sorry if its a bit of a stupid question!

Cheers

Yes you can, but a lot of money for little gain unless your going for stupid power... But even then a custom Plenum & enlarged Throttle body are usually adequate.

its strange....


On skyline engine folk mod them to have large single TB's and pleniums.....

So....

I think it would be a better idea to have a decent design intake/plenium with larger bore TB/intake to get more air in RATHER than going to the expense of ITBs

individual throttle bodies is very good on a n/a engine but if you have a big blower its not going to help much.

I'd rather a big turbo and a dinner plate throttle plate
