How much power are you looking to make? Personally I just like to have my throttlebody the same size as the intercooler pipe so I upgraded to a 74mm after I went with 3" piping. I have made almost 600 on a stock t-body though so just goes to show how non important they are.

You probably wont see any gains either way. If I was going to upgrade I'd probably go bigger and port the manifold to match.

If you have 2.5" IC piping, then get a throttle body that is similar if not slightly larger in diameter.

2.5in x 2.54cm/in = 6.35cm
6.35 cm x 10mm/cm = 63.5mm

Therefore get something about 64mm or slightly larger
