Default More LSX issues

My 90mm TB started having issues about a month ago when I dropped the car off at Dynotech. Well they fixed the throttle shaft issue but on my trip back home from DTE this past Sunday the Throttle blade would not close all the way. at one point I passed a car and dissengauged cruise control the car was still accerating on it's own and my foot wasn't on the gas at all. Got it back home and took the TB off. The blade is actually rubbing on the housing in spot's and making it hang up. You can see in about 4 areas that the throttle blade is scuffing the side walls of the housing and hanging up their. To fix the issue I as going to remove the blade and shaft and clean up the TB some. But lucky me FAST has these cute little set marks in the back of the blade screws so you can't remove the blade without drilling them out.O joy. I found this though after I ruined 2 allenwrench set's. I spoke to FAST last night and they said it would be 2 weeks before I could get a replacemnet back. So I called TSP where I bought the TB from inhops they would be able to help me out and resolve this faster for me.

Not cool man. You bought this piece how long ago. I think the newest batches are trouble free. Sucks to be the guinea pig.
