I would just save up and get a bigger TB. I know they are ******* expensive but well worth it.

honestly if your intake/maf doesnt support the larger throttle body opening than your really not doing a while lot for the motor. porting your TB would be cheaper initially but if you ever plan on changing your intake to one that will accept a larger TB, you'll be paying for it twice. It also depends on whats done to the car. if you have a cam than a larger throttle body might be justified, but for a bolt on car i dont see the need to go up in TB size
