Yeah, it sounds that way. I'm using two of 'em, tho. And the air is
under pressure, at high velocity coming off the compressor wheels. The
compressor housing outlets are only 2" (51 MM) ID, so it isn't of any
benefit to use larger throttle bodies. Nor will larger throttle bodies
fit on my intercooler, or accept the hose connection from the turbos.

Motor is a 454 Chevy.
