NWP 75 mm throttle body installed, first thoughts
I just wanted to say besides the threading issue which was addressed by Aaron which I fixed by threading the bolts through the other side the install was super easy.
The biggest improvement I found was how more punchy my car felt. It really improved acceleration. I haven't tried it on the highway but imagine the rpms will climb a lot more.
Anyone else install one yet? Thoughts?

It is not illegal to accelerate a vehicle and video tape it...

I will never understand why you bullies pick fight on such small topics and make nothing outta something. You're a senior so I think you should act like one. Little disputes like this turns into huge arguments and this site just have too much of it. Just saying

^ Are you a cop? Just wondering.
Don't you think your punchyness is because you're letting more
air in with the same amount of throttle?
Easy way to test it is a vacuum gauge and do a before and after.
I don't know anything about these engines but everyone says wow what a difference
because they're basically opening up the throttle more with less pedal.
Test it out!

Here's a video I did after a week of it being on the car... I've since replaced the pipe between the MAF and TB with a 3.5" piece. Was a 3 inch in the video.... Seems to have a little more of a whistle to it now.

I'm just saying if he was to do it how do you know he's going to stop at the speed limit and not exceed it? Isn't the purpose of the "performance mod" to give gains? And yes it is illegal in every state to have a hand held device while operating any vehicle. Instead of jumping on what I said why not give him some advice like have someone record it while you're driving and obeying the speed limit.
Performance modifications do not only/always give "gains" in terms of speed. Increased mid-range torque or lower fuel consumption are two examples. Gains can be felt in many ways without driving fast: acceleration, top gear passing/flexibility, throttle response, etc.
Would a handheld device include a cellular telephone? (Hint: yes) Because I am pretty sure operating one of those - whether wise or not - is not illegal everywhere. Thus, with certain states or localities allowing speeds on certain roads of 75-85 mph, one could theoretically drive at a high speed while using a handheld device while completely being within the letter of the law. I personally think drivers should drive - and only drive - and that films should be taken from a fixed camera, both for safety and film quality. But again, what do I have to say about what another person does? Nothing, as long as conditions (a) and (b) are met.
Sorry for getting OT, but some prudish and misleading comments really bother me.

Relax home boy. I was just bringing it to his attention. I'm just saying if he was to do it how do you know he's going to stop at the speed limit and not exceed it?

Being a senior member has nothing to do with how someone feels the need to instigate an argument or make assumptions before they occur. I simply stated that there was NO mention of any of the actions you assumed were to occur nor any reason why OP needed to contact the moderators.
And it is NOT illegal in every state to have handheld devices while operating a vehicle. Quite a blanket statement if you ask me.
Moving on...

This thread went way off topic here but it was interesting, hah.. I agree with the last 2 post tho and what you do is your own action and responsibility right?, no moderator here is gonna care. This is what we do on these forums. help and show people.
Thanks for posting the video, car sounds pretty good, looks like a decent mod.

SRSLY?!? WTH is this crap!?! You insinuated he was going to speed on video, insinuated he was going to use a handheld camera and not mounted device, and then insinuated I was your home boy?

So do you see what's going on here? Someone just posted the exact video that I was trying to avoid from being posted without me even having to say anything to warn him. If I'm not mistaken he hit top speeds of 140mph while holding a hand held device. Now as a senior what do you think will happen when the moderators sees this? Ok man you win.

I hear you bro. I too have slowed down because of this but I still poke my nose in once every so often to see what's good with this site. I mean how hard is it, rules are rules and the site forbids you post anything like this. Oh well. I'm out.

A: This road is for authorized personnel only, no traffic, no laws broken, so pump the brakes on that.
2: I haven't had a traffic infraction in almost 10 years.... I know when and where to do certain things and a street or highway is no place to do what I did.
Also thanks for the complement, the TB works well with the 5 Piece Spacer kit and BOP.

The stock IM is decent with the stock TB. With the BBTB the IM is pretty much worked to the max. Which is why you see more gains with the SSIM. That would be the next step assuming you would have the means to tune at that point.

I get what you're saying there Mrinternetzpolice, but seriously. Are you gonna run around every thread making sure everyone is in perfect cooperation with the sites rules and regs? Okay Hot Fuzz.
Who are you again? Oh, you're a guy that has 1300 posts and has been here longer. OOOOOOOHHHHHHHH, you better police all the newer people on here. Don't you think that the mods know how to ya know, MOD? Go take your Geritol and blood pressure medicine now, because we all know policing the "netz punks" is stressful proposition.

From traffic violations to transmissions in 3 posts.... Lol... Who cares about the TB..... Lmao.
I think the TB is well worth the money if you plan doing more than just the TB or have done other mod to complement it already.

in order to get rid of the throttle delay you have to get yourself a sprint booster.......bigger TB will make it respond better but the delay will still be there....sprint booster takes care of that issue, i know because i have one in my 02 max
