Default X link?????

Is there not a way to get around using a x link if switching to a gold or silver blade 9090km TB from 78mm truck TB?

Sadly no. I have a nnbs intake I wanna use on my 03 with a 90mm tb. The 250 price tag on the xlink is what's holding me back.

I've down loaded schematics from a ls6 DBW and also for my engine, going to see if I can do a repinning campaign and change to a throttle pedal from a car that had 90mm TB. Can always go back if it doesn't work.

Did you ever have any luck with just trying to repin the connector to do the conversion yourself? Thought of buying an X link just to gut it, and see which wires they crossed over on the connectors

Repinning doesn't work ,plenty of threads about that , xlink is not just wires switched around its got microchips and a circuit board that actually make it happen
