TPIS 90mm TB Jason99T/A installed my heads and LSX 90mm/TPIS 90mm TB combo this past weekend (did a great job btw). When he first started it up, he could tell it was having a huge vaccum problem, so he removed the breather and replaced it with an oil cap to see if that was causing it.
It got WORSE, and he could hear the TB whistling. When he pulled the TB off, my intake was all slicked with oil, and he noticed why. The new TPIS 90mm TB's come with the fresh air provision, only they put it in the wrong place
.
The fresh air is supposed to be in front of the blade, and instead TPIS put it behind the blade, creating double vaccum. I thought they would have caught something like that.
Just thought I'd warn everyone to watch out.

I don't have any pics, Jason took it over to Allan, who then sent it back to TPIS to get it fixed. I'm running Jason's FAST 90mm right now (brand new, and the throttle sticks its *** off), and oh how I can't wait to get my TPIS back.
