Default poorman's TB

was curious if anyone could give me a link to a DIY for a poorman's TB. I'm interested it doing it and curious about a couple of things. like, do i need to get bigger discs? or just how far can i go? that kinda stuff. i remember reading a thread about a guy who did one somewhere around here and he posted pics and everything, but i cant find it. any info is appreciated.

thanks a lot. i appreciate it. that was kinda what i was talking about, i'll definitely do that, but im more curious as to what i need to do to make the throttle body bigger. from stock to a 52mm. obviously bore it out a little...but my bigger question is do i need to get bigger discs to compensate for the bigger hole? or doesnt it really matter a whole lot?
