You can go too big & the engine can only consume 'so much' air, so keeping the TB sensible should maintain driveability & engine characteristics especially on small throttle openings.

any elaboration on the custom inlet? lol

as craig said though, you can go too big so the engine is consuming max airflow at say 75% throttle opening etc which makes for a dire dire dire drive, trust me!

well he can only run vauxhall one then really beacuse it wont pick up the tps, its a lot of ****ing about to get it set up on another. either the cav v6 4 bolt or vectra v6 3 bolt both more than capable they will will do 550bhp all day long !!!
