Been chatting with a couple of my mates who are mega talented engineers and have access to some serious metal machining equipment about offering this service to people on here.
If we have enough interest they could offer TB tapering for £50 + P&P (to return the TB to you after it's done)
If anyone's keen or has any questions please let me know here.

This is something that Spoon do to their throttle bodies (basically they buy an OEM TB and then taper/knife edge it for better flow) Here's the blurb from spoon:
TB Fitted to the Jig:
The TB's are bored in stages to ensure just the right amount of material is taken off:
After Boring:
Next they are thoroughly cleaned and inspected:
Ready to go back on the car:
Definitely notice improved Throttle response but sadly don't have a dyno to re-tune or give any hard numbers.
Pretty much ready to go for EK9 TBs if anyones keen drop me a PM.

Spoon Sports throttle bodies are genuine Honda manufactured assemblies with a difference. Spoon use brand new genuine Honda units and with years of R&D, taper machine the bodies for maximum flow.
The taper design (venturi) is adopted to increase speed of air flow as it enter the inlet manifold causing less restriction, turbulence and thus producing more power, especially in the higher end of the rpm range.
