Question New FAST 102 w/78mm tb

Do you think I would loose any power this way? A FAST 102/102tb -vs- FAST 102/78mm tb? Some say the TB size doesent matter...

Yea man you'll be suffocating that thing...get atleast a 90mm or above. After spending that on an intake i wouldnt try to save a dime on the TB. Think about where the air goes through before it gets to the intake, ofcourse it matters.

I believe the 78mm TB is a 3 bolts setup and the FAST 102mm intake will be a 4-bolt design.
