actually larger throttle bodies are ESPECIALLY beneficial to a turbo car...they do very little for NA cars

Depends on whats done to the NA car. The BP for example the stock TB can flow enough air for ~200HP but more than that, you should get it bored.

The do work on NA cars but you should also sort the manifold at the same time

But its only minimul small gains

i dont see a bigger bore TB getting you much extra even on a higher horsepower BP or FS engine if its NA,but i guess every little bit counts...as far as cost effectiveness though thats probably the worst bang for your buck..I would make that like the last thing you do, and only if you are making it like a full out race car....for that kind of money you can get cams,or do intake,exhaust,a header and get better results
