    Throttle Body Mesh

    Is it ok/safe/recommended to take out the mesh and plastic mesh insert in the throttle body? I have taken mine out and the thick plastic one to increase flow as it seemed to cut off prob 1/3 of the throttle body. Should have said these have been out for months now, so cant see as it would hurt

    QG18 Throttle Body

    Was thinking of fitting one to my C/P only to find the QG T/B is fly by wire, any ideas on what i can fit that would be a direct ish fit and make a difference, if at all, and if really needed, bearing in mind an impending turbo setup.

    Changing rims

    Thinking of changing my rims, i got 15" with 195/50's, just wondering if dropping to 13" or 14" would make much of a diff to the 0-60, if its only gonna be like 1/8 of a second, then i wont bother, but if its gonna be a noticeable difference then i would be tempted, just a bit fed up with the...
