So. Yea they use the same type of throttle body because it checks boxes that bean counters make.
Like cheap as possible while barely able to do its job correctly.
Yeah yeah... from a mechanic's POV we're all idiots. As a former mechanic as well as an engineer, mechanics are often correct but often do not understand every compromise and trade-off made during the design process. I am absolutely sure there are reasons for the TB to be cast in the shape it is, and possibly some good reasons for changing that design via porting.
