Question Billet single blade Throttle body install

Hello everyone!
I was planning on installing Babolt's billet TB this weekend, but I need help on setting the TPS. Is there a wire to pierce and which one to read the voltage at KOEO(key on engine off)? What should the voltage read? I have always set the Mustang at .98 V, using the IST inline digital tool. Will I need to buy a specific voltmeter? Thanks for any info.

Andy

I installed BaBolts T/B...I just removed my stock T/B and put BaBolts on and connected all the linkages and off I went..

Is there something else I should have done? Seems to work fine..

You might check with Silver-Bolt who has installed that piece and had mighty good things to say about the throttle response improvements.

Just got back from test drive after install... Damn! Babolt's throttle body with the PSP air filter kit gave an additional 1 lb of boost (on the stock gauge that used to read 10 lbs at WOT) now reads a whoppin' 11 lbs. The install took all of ten minutes and I didn't bother with setting the TPS yet. The sound from the Eaton S/C'r is phenomonal. It really is much louder... Screamin!
Can't wait to install the lower pulley and PSP 4-way chip tomorrow

You check the TPS voltage by connecting a volt meter to the 2 gray wires. The top wire is brown and you don't touch that one. The TPS voltage should be below 1.0 V. Mid .9's is ideal.

Cool

No easterisland:

Honestly, that's all I did..How do you adjust the TPS and why do you adjust it? I'm trying to ed-jew-kate (educate) myself?

thanks,
I really don't know.....
