Vasichko 05-10-2008, 11:27 AM Ive done it. I live in Texas and after doing it, Im glad I did it. The car feels a bit more responsive. Of course dont think its going to come out of the box like a Lambo after doing this... dag14qb 05-10-2008, 11:37 AM thanks for input, anyone else done this? what kind of negative effects can or will this have? eviltwinkie 05-10-2008, 12:03 PM It just prevents the "warmed up" loss of HP...if you live in a place where freezing temps are normal...you want to leave this in place... heyarnold69 05-10-2008, 12:12 PM so in ny .. leave, not leave, what? alnielsen 05-10-2008, 05:01 PM Make the conversion in late spring and revert to normal in the fall. dag14qb 05-10-2008, 07:24 PM any problems w check engine lights? or anything else? thanks for the input, noob out! eviltwinkie 05-10-2008, 07:33 PM so in ny .. leave, not leave, what? in NY you would def want to leave... eviltwinkie 05-10-2008, 07:34 PM any problems w check engine lights? or anything else? thanks for the input, noob out! No...unless it freezes and the TB gets stuck...heh bxb40 06-01-2008, 09:41 AM Done it last year and had it through the NJ winter with no issues. There is no liquid inside the TB, hence nothing to freeze and get stuck. And if it gets stuck, you need to clean the carbon deposits there and has nothing to do with the mod. RevAmp 06-01-2008, 03:36 PM Yep im doing this Monday once i get back to my shop =] the kit comes in but im replacing it with a silicone hose RevAmp 06-01-2008, 05:20 PM The TB heater prevents TB icing, which can happen much easier than people think, so use discretion with such a mod. Yeah you dont want to be late for work or something important and then your car just stalls on ya heyarnold69 06-01-2008, 05:37 PM i wonder if soemone can come up with a temp bypass with like 2 valves...... for us northeners lol mysql 06-01-2008, 05:38 PM I'm going to do a writeup on how to route your exhaust through your throttle body, for those of us living in alaska. wankelbolt 06-04-2008, 04:38 PM I'm going to do a writeup on how to route your exhaust through your throttle body, for those of us living in alaska.
