Throttle body and sensor?
« on: 20 October 2006, 16:47:39 »
Do they need calibrating if removed?

Or do they just bolt straight up onto the body?

Still waiting for my manual to land on the doormat

As far as I'm aware, everything just bolts on, don't forget to change the gaskets under the throttle body.

is there any difference between throttle bodies for a 2.5 and 3.0?

Is it a worthwhile mod if the 3.0 has a bigger bore especially if fitting 3.0 cams?

3.0 TB's are slightly bigger mate, and bolt straight on! Would definatley fit these if fitting the 3.0 Cams
