Default Skunk2 throttle bodie question

I have a skunk2 intake mani on my GSR Lookin to add a Skunk2 throttle bodie. Which size is beneficial to match the opening were the bodie meets the intake. 68,70 etc cause theres no point to get a throttle bodie thats opening is bigger than the opening on the intake. Also at the bottom of my stock throttle bodie it has a 2 fittings. One that comes from the IACV and then out off the throttle bodie back to the right beside the lower rad hose water outlet. What do you do here because the skunk2 throttle bodie does'nt have those fittings on it? do I just jam a bolt in the water hose on the IACV? anyone who can clear this up 4 me it'd be great

i do believe the S2 intake is 66mm. you can loop the water hose so u dont have to use it.

So I guess a 68 mm throttle bodie would be as beneficial to the intake as for any of the other sizes would'nt. Any idea what size the stock throttle bodie is are skunk throttle bodies even worth the money would I notice any difference from stock?

You won't notice a diff. from that whole setup or from either piece individually unless you're boosted bro. Sorry to break it to you.

^ I wouldn't swap an aftermarket TB or IM at all. Wasted $300+ for maybe 5hp?

the only reason I put the skunk intake on my GSR is because I wanted to eliminate the ugly *** GSR one. The guy I bought my engine off I told him to keep his ugly snail LOL. Man those are stupid lookin and the TB I have on is a B16 TB thats all I had.
