Its really easy man. Just remove your airbox and stuff off your TB....disconnect ur throttle cable from the the TB and bracket where its being held. Remove the 3 bolts holding it on (1-top 1-each lower corner)....remove the TB...

put the new one one and the reverse of everything....MAKE SURE you adjust ur throttle cable when your done. there is a clip in the middle of the line that allows you to do that. Thats pretty much it...

Would it really be necessary to re-adjust the cable if it was never moved from the original position?

just as a precaution they should be checked to make sure that the blade is opening all the way.

Tip: have a couple of clean bolts or screws to
quickly stick into the coolant hoses when you
slip them off, you will lose less juice and get
less air in the system.

tip, do the Coolant Bypass at the same time, i did the coolant bypass, not for power, or looks, but it lets me take my TB off in 1 minute.

they looks sweet when polished to a mirror chrome finish (thats why i like to take mine off to polish it up before a show)
