Re: $300 to spend

[David Kim <glxvr6@ibm.net>]

Don,

you are incorrect, "DO NOT" port some of the Throttle body even if you
have the Garrett chip.  Garrett is currently finalizing the 'chip' that
will cure the bucking and check engine light which is inherent in OBD II
vehicles when the throttle body is enlarged or replaced with a larger
one.  Also, the vehicle will need to be recalibrated, the Air Mass
Sensor.

Heed these words they paraphrase Garrett's,
