You will find it in the 2nd gen section. Works best on the TII engines. Gains are minimal on the NAs.

Does ReTed's site have a write up on the tb mod? That might be where I've seen it before. FC3SPro.com or something like that.

I've done the mod on a friends SE and my 2nd gen, both NAs. I got so tired of waiting for the 2nd gen to warm up in the winter before I could drive off that I put a stock tb back on. Never really noticed any differerence between modded and stock tbs, performance wise.
