Bigger throttle body ?
I have a 2010 c350 and i was thinking about upgrading to a bigger throttle body to gain hp but i don't know much about it and cant find much info for some reason . You guys have any info for me like what brand(s) to go with , how much it usually costs and whatever else you might know . Thanks in advance for any info .

I'm no engine expert but I would think reprogramming the ECU and opening up the intake and exhausts would be more helpful. I wouldn't trust many places to start replacing the bigger components of our engines.
That may be why you can't find any information??

some guy in w203 bored it and gained 3whp ... u sure u wanna trouble yourself all that just to get a single digit gain ..?
ur best bet is those trusty tuners, but then most of them only make applications for c63s ... so if ur non amg ur pretty much stuck if u looking to spend minimal

I Thought about ecu tune but from what i have found is that you can get like 30 more hp just out of a bigger throttle body . If ecu turns out to be the cheaper of the two than thats what ill do but i cant see spending close to a grand for 15 horse and 10 tq .
