Default replaceing the throttle

when replacing only throttle with the alphawerks on the scion tc does it make a different on HP or just wast GAS? or you have to get the intake and header with it then it make a different?

Ok let me try to figure out what you are asking.

When you install the larger throttle body it allows more air into the engine. More air = more gas = more horsepower. You don't need an intake and header with it, but it's highly recomended. I would do throttle body after doing Intake/Header/Exaust. Just my .02.

Getting a larger TB also increases throttle response right?
