Default Weapon X Motorsports NW "Boosted 102" TB

I have done many searches and know about the problems with NW 102 shutting under boost. Weapon X motorsports claims to have a 3rd party fix. Has anyone tried one or know of someone who has?

The engine is a ERL 427 twin turbo going into a pro-touring 69 camaro. I want to go DBW as I have everything for it minus the TB. I know Tpis has one but this would be a nice option due to the 30% hit on the Canadian dollar if it actually works.

I see. It looks like it has come down in price a little?

haven't used the NW 102 but have had issues with late model factor gold blade TB and boost.

PD blowers using the ETC cut rev limiter often flex the blade enough to go into limp mode.

Big boost through factory TB as its not perfectly 90degrees to the port can push the blade shut slightly and the error % will be enough for the PCM to shut the throttle itself. also big turbos with no BOV I have seen push on the blade enough during compressor surge to cause the car to go into limp mode from P2101 and P1516 codes.

the NW boosted one is supposed to have a stronger motor to hold up against force on the blade. silver blade factory ones are also much better

Stock 90mm gold blade LS3 works...and is cheap.
