GSL-SE Throttle body help!?

I got a TB ready to be re-assembled but I lost all my digi pics of it from during the dismantle process. Can anyone share some pics of one? All sides and bottom. I even have the shafts and butterflies out, stripped to the bone. I promise some pretty pics of it when its done.

Thanks Hector, after flowtest she'll be on her way to you.

Max, isint that the choke? Im not too hip on the SE sorry. <runs to get the manual>


EDIT: So whats the deal with this linkage? The lower secs open mechanically but the TB has a second set of sec butterflies that are vacuum controlled? So thats why yours are gone? To make it like mech secs? Hows it perform?

Correct, they act like a choke. I don't drive it in the winter, and you do have to hold the throttle a bit till warm, but it does help throttle responce alot when removed.

Thanks Max, I got an idea on that. Will share once its proven.

Thanks gsl-se, the shafts have been halved and thinned, low profile fasteners hold the throttle plates on. Also some work on the internal bores of the TB was done to promote smooth airflow should yield some gains.
