Default Using a larger throttle body with boost worth it?

As the toppic says. I know on NA motors there is an advantage. How about with a turbo motor, are there significant gains by using a larger throttle boby?

depends 68mm-70mm seem to fit the needs of most anything over is mostly overkill and suffer from throttle repsonse in the low range

Its for my H22. Dont remember the stock size, However I got one from the F20B which is a little bigger. Is it worth the swap ?

ive always heard you should match the throttle body size with your cold side piping size.
