Aftermarket ECUs don't control them.



Get rid of them. You may need to drill out the screws, so do it carefully.

You don't have to. They default open. Someone posted it added 1 psi by removing them....

read this http://www.rx7turboturbo.com/robrobinette/...le_throttle.htm

that should show you what is involved and what you need to do

if you dont feel like you can do a good job of it many people just wire them open

but honestly its pretty easy

OH YES you can.



I dont mess around when it comes to cars hehe



Anyway, here is some info if you want us to do it, or you can have a QUALIFIED GOOD machinist do it in your area, and also get new butterflys made. Kind of a pain, its really easier to have us do it, but it requires more down time.



If this is a little out of your price range, but CLOSE we can have the same machine shop that did mine, do yours.





FEED big throttle







$640.95

This throttle is great for responce. It requires you to send your old one here. The bore is 4mm over. We can provide a throttle to be bored for an additonal $99.95.
