Yes, throttle body spacers do really work, however, it typically depends on the specific engine involved as they work better on some engines than others. Their function is simply to alter the airflow into the intake manifold.
Throttle body spacers increase the air volume between the engine and the throttle body.
Yes it's perfectly fine to eat when you have spacers, if you have spacers and do't eat you'll starve! because you cant take them out, only your orthodonist can. Unless you really work at snapping it but don't.
It is located on the outside of the throttle body in line with the butterfly. Remove the air intake from the throttle body and it will be accessable on the back side of the throttle body. Easier to work on if you remove the throttle body. Easier to clean it too.
yes it will, but the manifold your gonna put the tsi throttle body on must be a turbo manifold as well, well actually not really, it will fit no matter what, its just the non turbo manifold has more vacuum lines runnin to the throttle body, but it should work, never had a non turbo talon but i am very familiar with them, i have a 92 tsi awd talon and a 98 tsi.
No, the throttle body and multi port heads are not interchangeable.No, the throttle body and multi port heads are not interchangeable.
On the engine inline with the air intake duct work.
Your TPS is located toward the bottom of your throttle body. If lucky, you can remove it with an offset screwdriver, otherwise you will need to remove the throttle body so you can turn it over and have access to the TPS. I had to unplug my MAS, EGR, IAC, and TPS, remove the air inlet between the air filter and throttle body, remove throttle cable mount and remove two brackets, 1 under and 1 behind the throttle body before it would come off and allow access to the TPS screws. A lot of work for 2 little screws. If there is a simpler solution out there, I would really love to hear about it. I would rather work smarter than harder.
No, the throttle body and throttle actuator are not the same, although they work together in the vehicle's engine management system. The throttle body is the component that controls the airflow into the engine, while the throttle actuator is the mechanism that adjusts the throttle plate position based on signals from the engine control unit (ECU). In the Jaguar S-Type, these components collaborate to regulate engine performance and responsiveness.
Yes But they have different plug ins on the throttle body so you will have to you will have to swap the throttle body also
On a centrifugal supercharger(Paxton, vortech, procharger-yes. On a whipple /eaton- no because they are located between the throttle body and engine, BOV only work when the throttle body is between the supercharger and engine.
It is possible. Try cleaning your throttle body. If this does not work, search for vacuum leaks in your intake. Then check your idle speed at operating temperatures.
Nope
