My TB mod went through without a hitch.



Not only is there a lot less **** in the way, there's now less spots for coolant to leak out of, less possible headaches, and less things to cause a possible idle problem.



And for everyone who says its nearly impossible for it to idle perfect, my car idled solidly at 700rpm. This is with stock everything except a t04e, full straight exhaust, intake, walbro fuel pump and emissions were completely removed. It was completely stock ecu wise.



People that have these "bad problems" must eithe rbe rushing it or not doing something right, as soon as i got my FD TB (i am switching to FD UIM and TB when my car is back together) i immediately removed all the bullshit, thats how trusting i am of modding the tb.

I can report no negative driveability issues associated with the TB mod. Although it was part of a larger "mod"--the install of my Haltech E6X and new injectors.



Driveability is much improved over all. I have NO issues regarding idle or anything else. The car is a little hard to keep running on startup if the weather is cold, but I suspect that I could fix that by adding more fuel to the startup map.



The only benefit that I can see so far is simplicity, and to be sure, that counts for something if you're going to pull the UIM every once in a while.

 

Love it but be warned, you might get boost creep.



I run a full 60-1 with HKS standard wastegate. I had no boost creep with a 10pound spring. After the mod, I creeps to 14psi.
