Default Throttle body sizing???

At least a 90mm. If you don't want to worry about possibly having to grind/shim to get the 102mm tb to fit get a fast or nick williams 92mm

Power wise, there will be no difference. Theoretically, you could put a stock tb on it or a 200mm tb. The engine will only take as much air as it wants.

If the engine doesn't want more than the 90mm tb can flow, going larger will not help any.

Idealy, you want to run the smallest tb you can without choking the engine to keep throttle response and low speed driveability good.
