On their website it said the "Airbridge" may need to be removed to gain access to the module. I have no idea what an Airbridge is.

On a 2002 convertible, can I get to the module without removing other "stuff".

In addition to saving money, I like that I can still use the car. The shop I had planned on taking it to said the car would have to sit there while the unit was sent out -- so they would have had it several days. Makes me wonder if they know what they are doing.

The air bridge in the duct that goes from the TB to the air filter over the radiator, It isn't hard to do, I removed mine in about a half hour, The hardest part is getting the torx screws out of the unit.

Did the torx screws tend to strip or round out?

This might be a dumb question but what is a "TB"?
