Turbo II engine guys: how do I hook up the throttle??
I searched and couldnt find how to hook up the throttle cable to the TII trottle body.
Forgive me, I dont know the proper terminology for some of these parts.
Starting with the throttle cable, it has to be attached to the manifold, the cable holder gets super close to the firewall, plus it doesnt really look like it will work. Im thinking of having the cable holder in front of the TB instead of on the mani, making the cable not have to bend as much.
Second, do I just have to put a Nikki, throttle linkage on the TII TB to make it work???
Help me out here.

FD > FB > FC
the SE one will not work. The FC one goes right in. Its a direct replacement. It looks just like the 1st gen one only alot shorter. Takes 2 minutes max to install.

you should have room on the upper mani to install a cable bracket, did you move the 13b foward?? usually we will drill another hole in the engine crossmember to move the motor foward a inch, this gived plenty of room at the back for the throttle cables etc,

actually the problem is really with the stock 1st gen cable itself. when you mount it there is not enough slack to reach the throttle without pulling it more than half way open.
Again you dont need a bracket, just a throttle cable from a FC. It cost me about 10 bucks from a junkyard. Works PERFECTLY.

I thik you need the T2 cable, that's what I went with. The only small broblem I had was about an inch of play on the foot pedal. I just rigged a spacer an it worked like a charm.

You have to use a FC throttle cable. The nikki one will NOT work.

I just cut the TB where the throttle cable goes on, made it flat instead of the little loopy thing it does, tightened the cable and it works
sarch I think i posted a pic of it.

The Cosmo Throttlebody Lever is on the same side as the FB, thus it is easier.
I am using an FD throttlebody and it is on the Other sde of the intake, so I had to get a TII throttle cable. Much longer and wraps around.
I am sure his TII throttlebody is the same.

I know, I could've used the stock FB throttle cable with the Cosmo Intake.
However, the TII and FD throttlebody levers face the opposite way as well, so you need the longer cable to pull it from the other direction.
