Default Technical question re anti lag

...i am modding the throttle body..ie at present 2 x 8mm holes that need opening to one big hole....now how precise has the hole got to be..does it matter bein ragged and not perfect?..I suspect not at all but just to make sure. ..also the ISCV mod ie 2 more 8mm holes plus opening up the holes already there..they aint gotta be perfect have they?

Hi matey

I would guess that it would be all about air flow. the smoother the edges, the better it flows the air, and therefore the more effective the als will operate.

I must admit, I never got round to doing this to mine prior to selling her.

I would guess that the bigger diameter hole is still gonna be an improvement overall - the proof will be in the testing. The dremmel can only help though

the bigger the hole the more air flow

its not rocket science lol

try to keep it neat, but im sure its not as important as opening up the hole to much bigger
