Default 90mm TB Poll

Just curious. Do most of us know that a "Tuneable" 90mm Fly-by-Wire TB is available? Nick Williams 90 mm TB is a proven jewel - both functionally and esthetically.
I've seen several threads regarding " Less Tuneable" (that's being kind ) 90 mm TBs.
Personally, I don't like frustration . This is an attempt to reduce frustration.

If it's a 90mm TB, with a smooth polished-like finish - then it's probably Nick's.

The only two (fly by wire) that I am aware of are the TPIS and Nicks--TPIS has theres stamped so if yours isn't it has to be Nick's--they are really starting to get around and I will be putting on his latest version this week with some additional tuning for idle etc before I run down to Orlando for a dyno and tweaking at Mikes--

Just to add, Nick is a pleasure to deal with and makes a great product and stands behind his work.

I have one installed. There are numerous others that do also.
Mine runs very well with no issues. The only difference from driving like stock is the 900 idle.
To put into perspective how easy it tunes. If the car is tuned with a stock TB and is running well, you should be able to swap it with little or no tuning.

The one, very annoying problem with my 90mm FAST Intake/Throttle Body combo is the Reduced Power Mode that comes in occasionally that usually only happens at slower speeds.
Finding a place to pull off the road and re-set the code can be a hassle at times.
It also surges at times trying to find an idle when coming to a stop. I can live with the slight idle hunting/surging but the reduced power mode is a real pain in the butt.
I have the Nicks T/B on mine.
Is anyone else having this Reduced Power issue?
