Is there no merit to a larger TB ?

Not really

Not really

Because of Charge Pipe diameter and bends ?
Where's the restriction ?
I'm asking to learn, I have no idea what components are limiting airflow if the head unit still has some CFM left on the table.

The TB would be a huge restriction on a PD blower, but when you are pushing air with a Centri or turbos, the size of the holes you are blowing through is not as big of a deal as if you were pulling through those same holes.

Draw through or Blow through a restriction is still leaving CFM on the table.
Where’s the restriction for the OP’s combination ? Is it the charge piping ?

We can't really say if he has a restriction or not. If there is one, it's Def not the throttle body.

The restriction on the pressurized side just creates a higher boost number. You can still jam all the CFM in there you want.
The restriction here, as in most oem style intakes, will likely be the runner itself.

Would sending the intake off to a company like Extrude Hone (to open it up by forcing abrasive media through the entire IM) be an option? I would think that EH, a ported TB, and a good port job at the mouth of the IM would allow for more breathing room.

Likely an immeasurable difference.

Optimization, just kidding.

On my car I'd say the limiting factor is charge piping and intercooler inlet/outlet. In the event that I changed them from 3" to 3.5" I could see upgrading the throttle body.

Thx, you're @ 1,400 HP on 3” piping and 80mm (3.15”)TB ?

If that is so, then great as I don't plan on any more than this.

 

[andrewtac]

They want the 80mm TB and you’re going for 1200-1300.
Have you considered a new tuner and ditching the Tru-X with stock mufflers ?

Never answered the exhaust part, yes corsa with valves was delivered today and I have a 3" stainless bros to replace the true x. Awaiting some wire, and need a few pipes. It will be 3" all the way. I do want to keep it quiet, at least in the neighborhood and just cruising.

Glad to hear you’re kicking the Coyote Strangler to the curb !

1416whp STD 1382whp SAE. 1400 just sounds better lol

Procharger f1a-94
3" discharge pipe to intercooler
3" inlet/outlet Procharger race A2A
3.5" custom cold side piping
3.5" to 3" 90° mated to stock t-body

The car will get a full 3.5" setup one day. At that point the Ford Racing 90mm may come into play.

Edit - the 3" cold side piping would have made the same power as the 3.5". The piping project got put on hold since the car met the power goal.
