the TB were bored to 62.5mm,
the butterfly plate was arrow edged
half of the shaft was cut (only 1 side remained)
both screw were filed down.

you will need a bigger MAF Tube if you do this. not sure about stillen diameter. my cai was custom.
It's not going to be 7-10whp on the setup you've got. Megan had a lot more done to the intake tract, and it needs to be tuned for the larger diameter MAF. Also, if you mess up a throttle body trying to DIY a port and polish job, expect to get fisted. Those things are not cheap.
Megan370z, SPOHN and RyanWest like this.
