Default bore out tb/im good for boost?


i have 2.5" ic piping so would i just match that with the tb size? or would it be more beneficial to go bigger than my piping?

also would i port match the tb size to my intake manifold?

going to be using stock IM and TB just porting them

would i need a new tune after installation?

Yeah, Honda heads and IM flow pretty decent stock and can support low-medium boost just fine. It's when you're boosting so high that the stock IM can't flow enough to support it...but then you loose low-end power from the oversized flow path.

Then you have something like a Venom or Golden Eagle IM made for boost that has a totally different design....

You should tune after any modification like that to your car.
