Depends on how much throttle control you need.

It's just crazy fitting a TB so huge, that when open 30-40% it is allowing in all the air the engine could ever consume.
So anything from around 40+ makes no difference.

And resolution from idle and low throttle driving, and especially the accel enrichment can be horrific. Because every 1% you open the pedal during normal driving, is like stamping on a normal sized throttle it lets that much air through.

Excessively large throttles are just plain stupid and can give no benefit whatsoever. Only downsides.

What size is the outlet on the turbocharger ?
