I have the Spoon one that is a 70mm tapering to 64mm just like the SOS one so that the mani doesnt need to be bored also.
I dont have before and after dyno plots but for response alone I think it was worth it. (and I paid twice as much... damn you sos for releasing this so late hahha)

If you are interested in a BDL 70mm or 72mm PM me. CNC machined from billet and not tapered. You will see more gains from doing the port-matching to the intake manifold.

Just picked up a SOS bored out throttle body about 2 weeks ago and you can definatley feel better throttle response throughout the rpm's.
As for the 10 bhp gains we will find out when I get everything setup and tuned. I'm looking for 400 with the least ammount of boost needed and this should help with that goal.
