throttle type ??

Hmmmmmm, if you could wait a couple of months mine could be used for the cause!

So what do we exactly gain if we get the extra 12% throttle opening? Is this any way related to the maximum speed of 155 mph?

It's a plate turned into /out of the airflow so its a cross-sectional area issue, so for sure it's not linear - I'd say the maths is quite hard but 12% deviation from horizontal (ie no obstruction) is probably an order of magnitude less in actual effect 1.2%. Guesswork really and if you want to calculate the effective cross-area of an elliptical disk as a function of angle, feel free

Sorry i don't have the time Dorian

 

I was just asking, but it must be like this for a reason

 

Mind you i could use a wind flow meter i have at work to measure the airflow difference

Nah, best kept for the toilet

the top speed limiter is another part of the ecu, not related to the throttle plate, but also something that can be changed
