Has anyone NOT had a problem with their FAST 90mm TB? Any smooth installs (without having to peen the bearing and fix the screw)?
Was it strictly an early batch problem?

My FAST dosen't look as if it is going to need another twist in the spring. It pulls back pretty hard and feels if it has plenty of pressure. Not sure if FAST started doing the fixes that people came up with here or not, but I did them to mine before installation to make sure I have trouble free operation. It's not hard to do. Took me about 30 min for all of it.

Beast, I read your fix write up in another thread that's active right now. I've read many posts describing the fix in similar terms as you have described (only thing is, without the TB in front of me, I'm at a loss as to what 'Peen the Bearing" means- is this to flatten or bend it?)
Did you come across a write up with pics during your investigations? Or did you fix it yourself by self diagnosis?
Much appreciated.

Now let's get the thread back on topic. Anyone with a smooth install/application?

Spin the drill till it makes you a mark, then remove the braket from the shaft. Your throttle spring will come off. Now drill a recess that the set-screw can sit in snuglly. Not real deep, but enough for the screw to go into. While the braket is off, do your bearing "peen" mod. For the bearing "peen" mod, you have to have a small punch. The throttle shaft that goes through the center of the TB has a bearing on each end. You have to go around the edge of the bearing and and "peen" the aluminum onto the bearing so it can't come out. Do this on both ends. Now reinstall the spring on the shaft and start your braket back on. You should be able to figure out how to get the spring back onto the shaft. It requires the work to be done on the end of the shaft so you can spin the braket to get the tension back on the spring. Once you have the tension, just push the braket and spring into place and put your set screw in. Maybe that helps???

does the fast tbody have a hole in the blade like the stocker does....my TPIS does not and its almost like its creating a suction effect and is sticking opening and closing, but when car is off, it feels perfect and works flawlessly
actually the whole pedal feel is different when the car is on and off, when off it feels just like the stock one did

Beast,
Great write-up...do you, by chance, have any pics of your TB after the tweaks?

Mine was a smoot install 
Just didn't operate that well after the install
Mine took a dremel to the blade, some touch up work of the bore with a dremel, and an extra wind of the spring but now it works perfect.

I'm trying to get it setup so I can get some back to back dynos between the LS2 and Fast 90mm vs my LS6 and ported TB and possibly a modified LS6 with 90mm TB
