Thumbs up Pics of my new TPIS 90mm TB

It came today

Compared to the stocker...this thing is stupid big



Here is a quick pic of the blade partially open



All I got to do now is slightly modify the bellows I bought...they are pretty darn close to working as is... then get it all installed and running :grin:

don't think so. There is a tiny air gap around the blade and a much more straight through IAC passage

Idle air shouldn't be much of an issue

Did they send your core back, less the stuff removed? Mine should be here early next week.

maybe you can get an idle w/ ls1edit or something.... w/ the tune I had from a 220/220 cam IAC wise we couldn't get an idle worth a ****... of course, turns out 3 lifters were bad out of the box also... so that might have been part of the problem... but we had to adjust the idle screw way up to get it to even find something resembling an idle.

Tomorow more testing will be done with new lifters in the car.

Thats awesome We've sold some of the 90mm TPIS throttle bodies for the c5 with the 90mm intake special we are running. Hearing its 90mm doesn't even do them justice until you see them, they're CrAzY big!!
