Default is 68mm too big for my d16?

I can get a pretty decent deal on a 68mm throttle body and i plan on port matching my y8 manifold.......but my question is: is 68mm overkill?......i am currently running a y7 with i/h/e and the y8 mani.......what do you guys think?

your probably gonna lose some low end power....but it will help you in top end.

If it's stock and you don't have any turbo goals, I wouldn't waste my time/money.

Otherwise, Just get a b-series TB from a junkyard.

How good is your, "Deal"?

That is a good deal. Get it, if you decide you don't like it, clean it up and sell it for $150
