TA DAH! my first P/P'ed TB. well, here it is, thought i'd show off my new ported and polished throttle body that i did all by myself. now i know its not nearly as good as Bo Whites work, but i think i didn't do half bad.

#1 it does nothing for performance
#2 there have been some cases that the epoxy that was used got sucked into the intake of the car....
So i just got my TB P&P.. the holes are not filled in..
IMHO i would not fill it in, that is jsut me

oh yeah, and about filling the holes. to me i like the look of it better without the epoxy. with the holes filled it makes it look kinda cheap to me. without that it just looks cleaner cause the epoxy doesn't match. i know, i know, lol i guess i'm too much of a perfectionist.

multimeter? I think the bump stop mod has to do with the back stop for the throttle plate. If you noticed the plate doesn't go fully horizonal when you put the throttle to WOT. I think it's about 1/8" if i remember right.

lol, i know what the bump stop mod is. the reason i need a multi-meter is to see the voltage coming off the TPS. that way i dont go past 90*. i just cant remember what the vonltage should read at.
My bad.

The voltage should read no more than 4.7v or it will throw a code. Here's a link to a nice writeup with pics:

looks good. I couldn't open the forum write up. just wanted to mention that some peeps have drilled a hole and tap to install screw. that way when ur tryinh to get 4.7v or whatever it's max is u can fine tune it w/ screw. just incase u grind too much . it still workable with screw mothed.
sure write explains this though.
