Default 58mm throttle body

hey guys I was wanting to swap throttle bodys for some throttle response. I know its not goong to make much more power and I am not worried about it. My question is should I go with a twin 52 or a twin 58. My mods are in my sig.

58mm, mod the opening of the intake manifold, set TPS and let it work... 6spd cars can make use of the 58mm at your level than an A4 so i say buy 1 and forget it

Yeah I think I will go with a 58mm over the 52. Yeah it wont make much difference but it might in a few years when I go to a 383.
