Isn't it pretty?
I just installed my Accufab Throttle Body. What a pretty piece. It kind of looks out of place on my old truck. Time to detail the engine compartment.
It went on with no problems, and fired right up. I still need to check the TPS voltage. It seems to have a little better throttle response when it gets wound up. It does, however feel like I have a slight loss of torque off idle, to about 1700-1800 RPM. That will probably be a good thing, to help launch the truck.
It definitely builds boost more quickly. I'm going to try and schedule some dyno time at Danny Swanson's later in the week.

Mondo 1, I bought mine direct from Accufab. They are a local manufacturer, so I just went over there and picked on up. I imagine that they are also available through the major tuners (PSP, JDM and JL). They are not cheap, which is true with high quality products. They run about $500.00

Duck, I am going to confirm that the TPS voltage that the PCM is seeing ins in the right range. It should be .53-1.27 VDC at hot idle. We used to check this by sliding pins through the wire insulation on the incoming TPS wires, but I understand that you can get a special connector now that makes it easier. I think Sal could elaborate more on this one.
