Motor looks good Joe! Don't have any answers on your TPS question...maybe someone else does?
What's the story on the remote filter? That Bruno's kit?
Finally got the Spilt Second MAF Kit installed. I like it. Noticeably smoother acceleration, the gasping for fuel symptom is gone at WOT, idle ummm.... very little improvement but some, and the intermittent stumble off of idle is gone. I am very interested to see if I will have any cold weather starting issues, since the initial air temp is hardcoded at 70 degrees (so I was told). The install was pretty straight forward, no tricks. Tapping into the O2 sensor line is a bitch. The major time stealer is running all the wires and hiding them in order to make the device look unnoticable.
I am very interested in hittin' the Dyno in order to get the precise tune.
Thanks to DaveR for the operations instructions.

It works well. I enjoy paying $2.79 for an oil filter. Of course it is going to take my roughly 30 oil changes to pay for it from the filter savings. I found it hard to believe I'd use an STP oil filter until I read this.

Thanks,

The unit is about 18 months old. I bought it from DaveR for roughly a little under $400. I was mostly price sensitive. The Lafosse Special MAF is approx $625 with shipping.
