Default Larger Throttle Body on B18A

Its a boosted B18a and what would be a good size throttle body? Should it be upgraded to 65mm or larger? Anyone have a favorite brand?

Should be running 440cc injectors or larger.

dont waste your money on a throttle body, very lil HP gain for the money, get an intake Mani instead, much more HP improvment. But for the most part the larger the TB the more HP gain, and i think its BBK or Holly that makes a 68mm TB.
440cc is too small unless your just using stock boost.
