You can wire the vacuum operated throttles open but you must leave the throttle linkage operated throttle plates alone.
A lot of ITS racers remove those throttle shafts completely.
Maybe I have the naming convention confused?

hey guys, i got my blow off valve on yesterday and everything works perfectly, no belt slippage at all. The valve blows off perfectly how i wanted it to, stays closed durning idle and cruising and only blows off at shifts above 3000rpm and when i am down shifting. If it is in neutral and i rev it up to like 5000rpm and let off it is very loud. it sounds great. I will get some pics of it on, also on the camera i use i can make a 15 second movie on a single floppy disk. Is there any way i could get it loaded on this site or hosted by someone. I would take a short movie so you all can here how it sounds and see the s/c in action.
sorry i dont have much time, I am not trying to blue ball you guys or anything i just dont have much time to get on
let me know about the movie thing
gotta go bell rang

It still stands that this IS the best bang for the buck. Everything else is an excuse. Like I said, no one denies that there aren't ways to improve this for more money. He has been more inspiration than we have seen from any others here in a long time. If he listed to all the excuse makers so called logic, he probably wouldn't have anything done to his car at all right now and he also wouldn't have anything original.
Way to go Zbrown! Keep the pictures and hopefully a video coming.

I also have a built car and don't need to do this though. You don't HAVE to do anything you mentioned to get a GAIN. You have to though to get a BIG gain. I won't deny that. Show me one intake or exhaust that will give you such an improvement for that little amount of money. Even a small amount of nitrous will be fine. Yes it is an eBay transaction. He may have actually gotten it cheaper or he could have gotten screwed over. It can happen. Invalid excuse. He didn't!

well it's simple as like a bolt on i'll say from lookin at it.. just have to know some basic mechanic to work around the car. what i need it that bracket, and mounts..
parts in mind would be right for this setup:
turbo II fuel pump
turbo 550cc injectors
turbo II fuel rail need or could work around with aftermarket fuel regulator anyways
s-afc
