What is the advantage, is it larger? If so then why is your buddy swapping a smaller TB onto his?

the 1.3 idsi tb is operated by a cable. the 1.5 vtec is dbw so i dont think this will work.

Kylerwho.... In my Country L15 is operated by Cable... the L13 is operated without cable (Drive-by-wire).

I live in Brazil.

OK, but my opinion is to change the original TB (48mm) for another bigger (55mm).

So i think fiat marea could have this one.....
