Not quite,a larger throttle body would be beneficial when searching for extra power during setup(depending on the state of tune of your enegine) but just fitting one and doing no adjustment could potentially lose you power. What car is it on?

in a word no. the 1.6 zetec is so restrictive it's hard to get anything out of it anyway but simply bolting on a 1.8 or 2.0 throttle body might get you a couple of BHP but only if you get it remapped which personally i think the cost outweighs the gains.
