#47778, "Just finished installing my TB -- I just have one word...."


          

PASS ... haha j/k.

This thing rocks -- there is a downside though -- it is very very touchy. Even touching your foot to the gas pedal takes the revs up to 3k -- this is extremely amplified by my car cause I have a ported and polished head and the AFX Pulley -- I thought it revved quickly before -- well I had no idea.

The tires break loose at the top of 1st gear very very easily now.

Clay -- no offense buddy -- but you think you know -- you've got no idea.

Porting the manifold -- well I probably got about 1mmm extra before the damn battery on my dremel died -- DOH! Oh well -- I'll pull it off and finish the job another day.

I actually made myself an extra gasket out of cork material last night -- guess I'll have to use it.

Umm... get some good breaks -- thank god for my cross drilled or I would have toasted the car on its maiden voyage.

The whole thing about learning how to drive -- yeah its true..

My throttle body opens completely horizontal at WOT -- Clay I was there with you when we did the install so I don't know what to tell you...I did nothing different...Except I got all the screws for my sensors off with almost no issue. Hit it will a little penetrating fluid.

Oh and my MSD wires came today -- my missing problem is gone emoji yeah -- that was a horrible feeling for so many weeks.

Any questions -- feel free to ask.


2003 VW GTI 1.8t.. I used to have a 95 Eclipse but well...water sucks.

Me too, I just finished installing mine, although not quite horizontal but thankfully not leaking whew! All I can say is that this mod is a definate plus, it feels like a different car now. The thing that impressed me the most is that I got a bigger kick out of the 60mm TB than the AFX ECU! Although I did feel something with the ECU, the TB really surprised me. I feel like getting the car dynoed now.

You will get used to the sensitivity of the throttle eventually. I learned to be a lot easier with my foot.

Hey Merlin hows it going? Na man I had my original unbored stock TB before I installed this bad boy, you might want to think about boring yours if you have no $$ and port matching the intake manifold, Im sure you'll get a bigger boost with your turbo kit.
