if your stock or u dont have very many mods done to your car then your gunna wanna wait to get one. ur stock one will be just fine, or you might consider just porting your stock one.

If stock or near, just wait on the T/B and spend the money on another mod. Gains will be minimal.

Unless you're making more than 400 fwhp the stock TB will be more than enough. If you're making between 475 fwhp and 400 fwhp a 52 would be perfect. Anything over 475 fwhp a 58mm will be needed. A 58 will handle tons of power.
