Default Just be sure to get that thing on there VERY snug before putting in the TB bolts....

I stripped one of mine when doing it...and believe me it doesn't take much for them to strip. Good luck

Default Plan B. Going with the Tanoga SS install first... I figure (more)

I'm at 52k. I'm gonna do a timing belt at 60k.

I'm just gonna do the Bi-Pipe when I do the TB in 3 - 4 months.

I just inspected my TBB the other week, and it's in great shape. Plus I have an extra TBB... SO...

Off to install a SS. Wish me luck!

Default very true, I use 5mm longer hardware for that reason, the stock hardware just going through.........

the throttle body has twice the thread depth as the hardware that APR supplies with the Bi-pipe.
