Default STR throttle body?

I can get a STR 70mm throttle body pretty cheap. Would I see any advantages with a 1.6 SOHC motor with 12lbs of boost?

I also plan on changing the downpipe to a 3inch pipe if that matters. Possibly also the exhaust manifold.

what are you running for fuel management? Your running the greddy kit correct? My neighboor was making 215whp (stock greddy kit and Hondata s100b) on a non vtec sohc. I would look into fuel management before you worred about throttle boddies etc (if you dont' already have it)

I have a hondata system. The car runs very well, although it's set a bit rich.(sometimes lets out a fart between shifts)

I still have the greddy kit with all the original pipes, manifold, turbo, and down pipe. The downpipe has broken several times and I just kept welding it back together

I'd buy it, but wait until you get a bigger downpipe, and exhaust before you put it on. Otherwise it's pointless.

Anyone else think this is good or bad?

I guess my biggest worry is that I only have my foot half way to the floor and I'm already at full power.
