Yeah i know PFTB will work and all but TB+ Adapter plate probley='s more money in the long run. And im not really wanting to fab up the 5.5 gen TB to make the TPS work.

Just curious if anyone has tried one of these. There is also 70mm available

I see that it comes with a adapter plate that says that you ''weld" to your UIM. But obviously you can just drill some holes.


Im just not sure how well the TPS would mount in one of these(This would be one of the main reasons for me buying one of these)

It shouldnt be too hard getting one mounted on the elbow either by drilling or welding the adapter plate but like you mentioned, fixing the TPS on there might be troublesome. Looking at those pictures, I cant see how you would go about doing that easily.

Cause i cant find someone with a PFTB for my 3.5 that accepts paypal.

I dont have a Credit card or a bank account so it would have to be though Paypal.

I wouldnt think it would. Either which way i have a EU and i need to tune regardless

Yeah i agree. The seller emailed me some pics of the TPS side and the only thing that i think that would be trouble some is figuring out how to make a finger to ''push'' the TPS. but in reality i dont think it would be to hard. Mounting it i think would be the easy part just making it actually work with in relation to the throttle position would be difficult.

I will post up pics of what the seller sent me later tonight.

In your situation I wouldn't bother. With no CC or bank account why go through all this trouble? Sounds like you just want it and not need it.....
