Default Nothing new, but another torn TBB fixed.

Car went into limp about a week ago. Took a look and sure enough, the TBB bug had bitten.

So I just got the new TBB from clair's. Took off the old one, and found this:

put the new one on and "wow!". Guess i had a boost leak for a wihle, because i can definitey tell the difference.

Should be good for now, but if it happens again, might have to invest in a bi-pipe.

Proboably more economical to just keep swapping TBB's, but I have a bipipe and love it.

I have the MTM and it's great, looks OEM too - but it costs the same as the bi-pipe

You're better off, I wish I had gotten the MTM TBB instead of the BiPipe.

Default I usually am with you there, but what if the dealership changes your $$$ MTM TBB for a Stock one ?

While being serviced???? I can see this happening at any of the major mileage visits.

Default Luckily, my tech is great, so I don't worry about stuff like that. I just had my 20k and he called

me afterward to discuss everything that was up with the car, what he did, etc. Great guy, great dealership.

Default My current dealership is great and mod-friendly, but I worry about the next few years.

I could literally be anywhere a year from now. I would hate to happen upon a bad dealership.
