i knew before i opened this thread that this video would be referenced. personally if you need a throttle stop, you shouldnt have twin turbos. why would you go spend that much money for something when you know you cant control the power. Just to say you have it? Pointless.

makes me sick to spend all that money just to LIMIT the power....

This is sort of funny.When did latest round of mods on my car accidentally put the throttle cable into top hole on the nick williams throttle body. So when checked my tps was only going to 75% throttle. So this could have worked in similar fashion to the video. Didn't actually drive the car at 75% though. As said you can lower boost ,get boost to come in progressively maybe even buy this neat add on variable traction control I came across.
But am starting to think that about 500engine hp is close to a reasonable street hp power level.
