Default weird mods on car...

So my car that's completely stock, (when I bought it) has a bbk 80mm tb. This can't really do much for the car at all. Should I keep it? or try to find someone in the local area that's got a ported stock unit and trade em? Downside is I drive the car almost every day, so if anyone thinks I should trade them, they'll have to bring me theirs, and be patient while I pull mine off.

I'll trade you for my stock ported one.

But, on the other hand, I can't see that it's doing any harm to your car. I say leave it on. You'll need it later on after a dozen or so mods.

Its better than a ported one. Most port their stocker cause they are cheaper. Keep it you'll mod up everything else to match later. It should give you better throttle response if no more HP.

Throttle response is kind of sluggish, we'll see what happens tomorrow when I get my slp flow pack.
