FAST TB problems I have a FAST 90mm TB and am having problems. One of them is FAST. The tech help argued with me telling me that my problem was not what was happening 
. Anyway..... my problem is the blade sticks right at the first .25" or so of travel. I had to put a return spring on it or else the blade dose not close all the way and my engine rev's out of control. With it I can only get approx. 70% opening of the blade.
So what do I do??? Get full opening but let the engine rev (not really an option) or accecpt 70% opening. I can't afford to replace it with a Nick Williams right now.
Has anyone run into this problem and found a solution. I don't know mabye sand the edge of the blade or somithing?

If I remember correctly, in one of the threads about a NW TB, a FAST owner said FAST fixed the problem for them. Find that user and ask him. Or hope that he sees this thread and responds.
Any chance you can return it or did you buy it used?

At least I know that someone else has had the same problem and solution so I know that I am on the right track. Thanks.

update?
Just got the fast 90mm tb as well and am getting the sticking open problem. Actually, just like yours. THe last few tenths it sticks an doesn't shut all the way.
Also, does your tb blade have a hole in it? I don't think mine has one....
when driving around, car feels as if in cruise control ALL DAY LONG!! quite annoying and had on a few times turn her off becuz revs where getting to hot and didn't want to got crazy!!
So, besides this, has anyone else done any grinding, for example, to fix this problem? Or anything else that might work? (No throw in trash, get NW post plez!!)

So should I send mine in before I sell it to someone? It's never been used so I'm not sure if it has the sticking problem, but i see it's pretty common. I knocked a 100 bucks off of the price I paid, so whoever wants to buy it, shouldn't mind to much. Of course I linked the f/s thread to this one so that people know what they are getting into before they make the purchase.
Did FAST charge you anything for the quickfix, D-Muscle???

I don't think they charged my friend anything but he bought the TB when it first came out so maybe they were more forgiving then. I drilled a hole at the bottom middle like stock location so the car would idle no problem after the H/C install, just precautionary. I also had to adjust the set screw until the idel read right with HPtuners, so that may have also helped. until then it used to idle at like 1300 now its down to 800 or so.
