mustang 75mm tb upgrades, look here!

JWoodley · Aug 11, 2007

I was doing a little math and came up with these numbers:
2.5" = 63.5mm
3.0" = 76.2mm

So if you're running a 75mm throttle body, wouldn't 3" intercooler pipes be ideal? If you were running an 80mm throttle body the 3" would start to become a bottle neck, correct? Maybe I should quit applying exhaust gas theory to compressed air. Regardless, the Wilson and the BBK/Ford look similar in design and are priced about the same. I'm interested either way.

Would the 3" pipe with a 3" throttle body be ideal, yeah most likely. But the only way you would know is to setup your intercooler, throttle body and the intercooler pipes on a flow bench perhaps. Then measure the maximum flow and pressure drop of both 2.5" and 3" setups and then apply it to your situation. Like say with a particular turbo you flow x cfm, but both 2.5" and 3" intercooler pipes flow more then that, and say there is very minimal difference in the pressure drop between 2.5" and 3", then might as well go with the 2.5" intercooler pipe even though the 3" intercooler pipe and the 3" throttle body combo might make more sense at first due to no bottle necking as you said before. Also, I believe intercooler pipes that have larger volume are slower to respond to boost then those with smaller volume (I personally don't know how big this effect is). Hope that made sense its been a long day, haha.

The wilson is a much better choice its billet not cast.It also has rubber seals for the shaft.

i am using the mustang TPS. it is the same style 0-5V...just have to recalibrate it, pretty easy if you have AEM or DSMLink.

TurboAnything...I do not know enough about the Wilson TB to debate on which is better, all I am offering is a solution for people with the 75mm mustang TB.
