question about installing block off plates

do i need to put resistors in all the plugs (aws, acv, etc..) like i did for non-seq? If so are they 330 1/2 watt?

also are there BOP's for air pump removal? Should i just cap the lines?

last question, do i need to fill the holes in the UIM after removing the double throttle? ( such as in the center where it passed through?) I know the BOP covers the outside but was unclear on the inners?

Thanks for the help! I want to do it right the first go around

You don't need a resistor for the AWS.

Don't bother removing the double throttle, it won't help any.

You have to plug the hole on the backside of the the throttle body, yes. Some people use a bolt and cut the end off to make it flush, others just fab a plate.

You should be ok with just one plate, but that's my opinion. Some people feel as though one plate isn't enough, but it's all about what you prefer!

Talking Possibilities for leaks

Those people looking for that extra 1/10 of a lb of boost will either fab a gasket or use some non-hardening silicone to keep air from moving around the plate. If you fill the holes, you get less turbulence on the inside of the throttole body from the air moving through (but this is minimal since its right next to the butterflies anyhow).
