Default should i buy a bigger tb

i found a bbk 70mm tb for 119$. used but comes with all parts. its cheaper for me right now for the TB than the exhaust. but i also want a new pair of piaas that would be same as the TB. help me decide.

i want to mount them in the factory holes. ive looked briefly but i think the stock mounting plastic thing will work perfectly to mount them.

took me to long to decide on the tb and it slipped through my hands, just ordered the lights.

The lights were probably the better choice anyway, Money vs performance on the tb just isn't worth it. The only advantage to getting just a bigger tb is a little more throttle response at low end meaning it would be like pushing your gas pedal more with the stock TB. Can make it jumpy if you go too big. But it doesn't add more to the gas at top end unless you can match it with fuel/spark/timing.. ect.. ect...

i havent received them yet but i am thinking of putting them there. stocks are like 37.5 watts and the new ones are like 85. so way brighter and i got the ion syle so they will be yellow. i think if i use the top mounting part of the factory thing it will work. or i will put them directly under my piaas that are on the bumper. pics will be posted once they are installed. i will use this same thread.

they are the piaa 510 ion. exact same size as the stock fogs 4 inch so they fit perfect in the stock holes. even if your bracket is messed up you can just make you're own, easy.
