turbos on fi cars?

trey · 10-10-2006

ok, so my turbo experience is limited to carb cars. this might sound like a stupid question, but when you are using a blow through setup, does the throttle body need to be sealed up in anyway?

NeverEnuff · 10-10-2006

You mean like you would do a Carb setup?

If that is what you mean...then no...the T/B is already sealed in and out on MOST if not ALL EFI cars. Most air is 'metered' air, so any air getting in AFTER the MAF will scew your readings. Every T/B I have seen comes with the butterfly sealed, and the TPS sealed. No need to take 'extra' measures to seal it...

If I am way off what you mean...ask away again...

or you could just ask DugDug...maybe he knows...

thats exactly what i mean. thanks man!

No problem...

Throttlebody has a line to the valvecover. You want to plug that one or else you boost your crankcase.
