like blur said form what i have been reading it is the MAF that gives the problem not the TB
BLUR.. what can i expect off a ported TB?? will i need a tune to go with it?
I just ported mine this weeked, turned out pretty badass. Might not be quite as good as some of the pro's who do it, but it was free and definitely gave a SOTP improvement. If you have a Dremel or similar tool just try it yourself, it's not very difficult.
