Just buy a new/used ITR t/b, it's 64mm, no need to bore, fits right on. Also an ITR with few to no modification on a B16A adds great gains.

you can bore out the b16a one (I guess you have a first gen)58mm to a 62 and use the type r butterfly. Or just buy a itr one for 100dollars.

On these B-series, the max you can go is usually 4mm over.

btw - the inner diameter of the ITR TB is 62mm
