Sounds like too much expense/complication for very little gain, but who knows. A throttle body probably doesn't make a very good intercooler, which is what you're basically trying to simulate. Also, if you actually achieved significant cooling at the throttle body, you'd be artificially leaning out the mix (denser intake air) post-MAS-sensor, so the car wouldn't adjust for it and might be more likely to knock if you went too far without adjusting the sensors and/or ECU for it. I have no idea what numbers it would take to do that temperature-drop wise.
