Trueleo intake & throttle body questions
As far as I know, only one person is running a Trueleo intake here(redraif). Anyone else?
I've got mine sitting here and I'm already at my first hurdle: the throttle body. The one I got with it is a Professional Products 'Power Throttle Body'(runs $100+ online, from what I can tell). The throttle lever is pretty much backwards from the stock one. The TPS that's on it basically is just leads. Am I required to use my original TPS, or will this one work by tying it into my wiring harness? On the bright side, it looks to be the same IAC(80406 xxxxx).
This TB seems to be alright, just gotta get through these first, unless someone has a better recommendation for a different TB?
And now for some pics...

The sensor, aslong as it works in the same operating range, its fine.

Re: Trueleo intake & throttle body questions
design doesnt matter. Aslong as its .50-.55volts at close/idle. And goes to 5.0volts at WOT. Its good to rock.

Excellent. I'll have to test that once I figure out the linkage issues.

Considering he hansn't logged in to TGO since 2010, I don't think it much matters...
