In my own opinion... this mod doesn't do anything performance wise, should have left well enough alone..... Try putting it back together stock and see how things are....

sorry, just my opinion....
Mine too!!Doesn't enhance performance-esp. on an '02. :cheers:

A cooler TB should produce more hp than a hot one. The fluid comes from the inlet through the TB and out the outlet. There is no source of fluid in the TB. If yours is leaking I suspect it is residual liquid in the TB. Run it for a short time and see if the Tb flow stops. If it doesn't, you have a different problem.
