I got a 65 mm throttle body from a 5 series BMW car  (at a u-pull-it junkyard)for real cheap- about $13. I wonder if it might bit a bit on the small side- it works out to be around 2 5/8" i.d. Any opinions about the size of this thing?

Might be OK Brian. Try it and use a water manometer to measure
the pressure drop at WOT.
