Default I think the answer lies in a simple algebra problem...

R32 x 225 = R7200!!!! That has to be good.

Yeah, it's pretty much the best kept secret in the modding world.

Default I don't think anything unless it had the demand or tuning for it.

my big turbo required a bigger maf from the 2.7T S4 since it's pulling ALOT more air than the K04

Default Different MAF so the element will read the right g/s, I bet. Since the TB is larger than the

FMIC cross-sectional area, and the hoses in and out of it, I don't see how a larger one would help...

Default It's a considerably larger opening, and a larger unit in general.

In the case of the APR manifold/stg. III+ setup, it's sized to take advantage of the greater flow.

Apologies for picture quality (or lack thereof):

Default u need to have a high enough flow manifold to take advantage of the biger TB.

i plan to toss one on my customanifold sometime soon. w/ my P&amp;P'd AEB head and my tailor made manifold teh R32 TB should be a nice addition to the high flow madness.....

In both cases, yes.
