maybe you can tell us what you are trying to do. there are a couple different places that sell throttle inlets, not throttle body.
Ok, if you have 2-1/4 or 2-1/2 inch intercooler piping, the 2 inch opening of the throttle body creates a bottleneck for air going into the plenum..I'm trying to get rid of that...BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!..sorry got carried away, but yeah, that's basically it..a friend who runs drag cars pointed this out to me on the weekend while I was at his house..

I would say its a restriction, but probably not a OMG HUGE one. Just step up to a ChrisK or RMR side-feed throttle body with a 75mm mustang TB. 8)
If you decide to get a new manifold and larger TB, don't forget the center feed Hux manifold. Justin has it.

If you find a solution to this please let me know, because I have a 205 wrc charge cooler sitting in my garage that i'm desperate to fit up, but I don't particularly want to go from a 3" outlet straight down to a 2" inlet. There isn't enough room to make a custom smooth reduction pipe so it will be forcing boost int an inch of flat metal, not ideal.

and (the intercooler install)

the bottom one is my set up and i tell you what it made a HUGE difference in the performance of my car.
and if you use BayAreaAT adapter or the ATS you will be good to go

personally i think unless you are running alot of horse power over 350-400 (maybe more) the "bottle neck" is negligable. the air is getting forced in not pulled in like a normally aspirated engine.
the ATS adapter claims to gain just 7 horse power on a modified engine and up to 20hp on a high hp engine.

Good work Saved, that's brilliant. What mr2 is the rubber reducer thing off? is it the turbo? So all I need is one of those adapters some sealant and a reducer and i'm away!!!! Did you fit the 205 cc to the 165? If so I reckon it will make more of a difference with my 185 a/a interwarmer.

thanks 
you will still need to hook up a pump and a radiator for the 205 ic set up
off a 91 mr2 turbo, can use any silicone based turbo hose that fits, all the part numbers are on the write up, i put a * for the parts you need
yes it is on my 165, the plan was for my 185 but now i think i will put on a fmic on the 185.
the other pics from the UK site might also be helpfull if you know how to weld.

Cheers Mate thats brilliant. I have a st165 pump (because I cant find one for a 205 or cs/rc anywhere) I'm going to try it and see how well it works, I couldn't get a rad anywhere either so I'm going to use 2 gsxr 1000 exup rad and fans, possibly with a custom tank tucked away somewhere to keep the water volume up. In the pictures it looked like the hose you used to conect the tb to the ic is tapered, is this correct? or does it just look that way?

hose just looks like that, you have to stretch the hose over the ic, the adapter is a perfect fit for the hose.
another idea i used an ac condensor for a bigger ic radiator 27"x12"x1" thick was for an old toyota truck. (works great) has the inlet and outlet on the same side and a 5/8" hose fit right over the ac fittings
oh and where i was looking to fit the ic radiator on my 185 was between the ac condensor and the radiator,wanted to keep the ac.
the 165 the radiator fit nicely up front and was able to keep the ac and the fog lights. i was even able to install a pull fan behind the ic radiator to help with keeping the fluid cool
