It's been discussed at length how the factory one is more than sufficient, even for bigger turbo setups.

this is pointless unless the I/M bore is the same size... cant maximize airflow if the original bottle neck is still present... unless someone (or even the company) wants to prove me wrong with dyno sheets before and after install.

Damn this Car has EVERYTHING I wasn't even aware that we had a sufficient throttle body in a little civic....you aftermarket guys gotta step it up here. Honda Engineers got you all beat.

Find the real weaknesses of this car and sell those products.

Like you said, until someone comes out with a large bore (perhaps even sheet metal) IM this TB isn't going to provide much in the way of gains.

TB's are a big seller in the NA B and K series world and it seems as though Ballade is trying to capitalize on people thinking they need this on the modern engines.

There’s only one company selling an aftermarket IM and they are located in turkey I believe. With very limited Info, a doubtful dyno chart (vehicle far from stock), and shady website, it seems to be available for 1500 usd... and it’s all metal lmao

I even asked about potential gains? ..and got the answer.."yes"

no evidence to back power gains but seems like their pushing improved throttle response instead
