there are no significant differences between 2wd and 4x4 throttle bodies to make one better than the other

yeah 4x4 inlet manifold flows better as its not restricted like the 2wd one, just wonderd if the actual throttle body was different

yeah i know the 4x4 one is better than the 2wd due to the depth of it, but i thought the body was better too.

No difference in body 2wd to 4x4 only the idle screw 4x4's can seize
4x4 plenum is a little bigger and elbow a better design
small turbo escos plenum is excellent but requires a few mods for sensor and you can't use a small turbo t/body due to iscv are different shame cos the throttle body itself is bigger
