15 mins to install.. LOL I have been working at it for 1/2 hour and I can even get the damn hose off the front. I have the whole top off ,but the bottom won't slip off.. grrrrr Is there a trick to it?
Edit.. I got it off, I have the adapter plate also,but I don't know which way it goes. The red gasket away from the TB or towards it? Also there are hex screws and there is no place to screw them in.. The instructions do not cover this..
Edit Edit.. I figured it out, but it doesn't fit. With the adapter on I can't mount the TB.. The part where you plug the plug in hits a bracket on my supercharger.. So no go.. sigh

This is what our other customer had to say about his track experience:

"As expected, it did help some in slow turns with staying in third gear for a smooth run to eliminate the “turbo kick effect” once rpm reached the power band. It also helped with corner transition staying in 3rd. However, when I was after it hard, I still had to go into second to keep it in power band when I was going 100%."

do you know if the tb and tc will pass ca smog?
