Default Need DBW help!!!!
So I am rounding third base on my RX8 swap. Here is the run down on my setup. 0411 pcm, 2002 corvette TAC and pedal, 2005 GTO TB (6 pin), and a 2002 Corvette OS. I curious how to wire the TB to the TAC. My TB only has one 5V and low red wire. The TAC uses two. I have heard to tie both 5V ref wires from the TAC to the TB and same with the Low ref. when I power the TAC and move the pedal the TB doesn't move. When I power the TAC up the TB blade snaps closed and relaxes. Any input guy or do I have to use the 8 pin ls2 TB?

Why are you trying to use an 05 GTO TB rather than an 02 vette TB?

Bc im using a FAST 90 intake and LS2 TB is 90mm vs the 02 Vettes 75mm. Its a common swap for guys to use the LS2 TB on C5s.
