I have spoon TB and i felt the gain but in the scheme of things you could port your oem TB to 68mm or 69 mm for a fraction of the cost and while the workmanship wouldn't be AS good, it'll still do the job...

Alternatively get yourself a technospirit TB which has a ported opening and corresponding larger butterfly, whereas spoon only has larger opening at 70mm.

There is a guy here that can bore the OEM TB out and people state his work is top notch. It costs like 100 bucks and includes a new butterfly, couple bucks more and I believe he also port matches to the intake manifold. Search around H-T, I believe he has a sponsor banner up.

edit: Assuming the quality is as people have said, this is a MUCH better deal than a Spoon TB which is mearly tapered out and stock inside diameter. He IS a sponsor, http://www.maxbore.com/
