Gus, If what you say is true and theres no gain, then tomorrow I will call and cancel my order id rather put that money toward a onepiece drive shaft.

 

Just finished installing the BBK throttle body. At first it put my car into failsafe mode, then I realized that I hadn't turned the spring counter-clockwise. So it's running just great now. I have a JLT CAI and the Bamachips tune, and magnaflow exhaust. With just a small touch of the throttle you can hear more air flowing immediately. And from a standstill, with traction control on, it spun the tires much easier than before (before I had never tired a ahard launch with TC on, but this time it lit up the TC icon on the dashboard quickly.)

So although I had planned to return it because of the problem and the lack of positive reviews, I think I'll keep it! Acceleration is noticerably stronger, you can hear the air flowing quicker just by tapping the gas pedal, and it'll break the tires loose easier than before. Not sure what sort of gain that translates into, but I'm sure I'm going to enjoy this mod.

 

The first link, while it does not show the actual dyno sheet, does show the TB alone, theCAI alone and then both.

There must be some reason alot of people are against TBs but why?

 

yawn, It may have worked on the 2v or 4v motors, but for some reason, the 3v does not react the same......hhhmmmmmm

 

Because more than enough people have gone with aftermarket TB's on these cars and saw no appreciable gain and have had drivability problems as well. that's why.

Ask Doug of Bamachips about his TB experience.

 

Double Ditto!!!!!!

 

Now this is sad indeed as I would have sold you a new shiny LFP one with a spacer for $100 less shipped.
