Okay, I would stay away from these idiots.
Yes, this will raise fuel rail pressure.
Raising the fuel rail pressure will cause the engine to run rich.
An engine running rich will lose power, and mileage will drop.
In extreme cases, it'll foul your spark plugs, and you'll think you just killed your engine.

This is really a stupid method or trying to attack the problem.
If you all maintained the cars in top shape and don't do stupid **** like holding the engine at the rev limiter all day, then we wouldn't have to worry about things like this.

As for the TB, there are 2nd throttle plates ease the flow of air into the engine and keep it from going strait lean when you left off the gas. I removed mine.

You don't want to remove the REAR throttle plates, bad idea, you remove the FRONT ones called the secondary plates.
