Heres a guide http://www.geocities.com/wilwaxu/throttlebody.html

I just used about 8 60grit sanding rolls for the dremal, and then took some 600 grit sandpaper to make it smoother, and youll need some cutting wheels. I have heard its flows better when you leave it a little ruff rather than polishing the inside. And the main thing your doing is grinding down the bump right before the tb blade. I started by grinding the front lip as much as I could and went back from their.

Hope that helps
