they are the set that stay closed during warmup or open upon acceleration, kind of like a choke on a 12A, when the car warms up it will open it, but can still cause a small restriction

A GSL-SE is a totally different car

This is for FC's, but the TB's are almost the same

OH! Ok I get it now... there are five butterflies, one for the primary throttle, two for the secondary throttle, and two more directly behind the secondaries that only open when the engine is warm.

Now it all makes sense.

And on my FD throttlebody they moved the 2nd'ary plates to the upper intake manifold, and not in the throttlebody itself.

Now you're playing with FD stuff too? OK that does it, I need to build a 400rwhp engine, and yesterday.

Was suppose to put the T2 motor in this winter, but since I bought a new car it will have to wait till next winter, T2 motor, Haltech, and 3rd Gen upper manifold and TB, still deciding on turbo.........
I feel the need for boost. driving the 626 Turbo, I like boost
