Hey guys, Monday night I got Dremel happy and we pulled off my throttle body. After a VERY good cleaning, we ported it out. I never actually touched the section where the butterfly is, but I got rid of the way that the TB narrows before it gets there... now from the intake, it's a straight diameter to the butterfly. I also got my polish wheel and polished out everything I ported. My idle was a bit odd at first, but I tightened up my throttle cable, and after two days, it's idling basically normal. My car doesn't stumble anymore if I'm in a higher gear and go WOT, and It's picked it up quite a bit. My midrange pull is better, and I can launch at a bit lower RPM without my Motor Bogging. This is a very nice mod.

Thanx for keeping us posted. It's nice to hear what is working for us DSMers.

yeah, I'm also thinking about porting out and polishing my exhaust and intake manifolds. What kind of gains can I expect with these mods, and how difficult are they to remove/put back on?
