Are they worth the money, or is a good clean up of my old one good enough?
Will the car run better with it?

A port and a polish make a bigger difference depending on the OE TB. Most have a funny taper in them so its better to machine it out then polish it like i did...

most TB's rely on that to create a venturi effect, same as the newer mantzel's produce better power than the older ones (due to the internal layout of the plenm)
