Default How good are TWM ITB's?

I am considering using TWM ITB’s on a B20VTEC, and was wondering if anyone using the TWM ITB’s could let me know how well they work (power gains, driveability, reliability, ect).

Thanks

When you make the jump to ITB's you shouldn't expect reliability...or good gas mileage...

Reading archived posts about the ITB's I saw that some older TWM setups had trouble with the linkage binding, just wanted to make sure that this got fixed on the new linkage setup and get general feedback on the ITB's particularly if the power gain (on an engine tuned to use them) is large enough to justify the price.

Uhm, Yes...

You better be already making some serious power on manifold, before you switch to ITBs.

You'll also need DFI or a standalone that can tune to tps.

Jeff has quite a few daily drivers that use them.

"Lip" would be a good guy to talk to, too.

Were the part throttle maps hard to tune?

How did you end up tuning them without vacuum? TPS?

Also, what was your final MPG and, etc...?

when I got that worked out and a 4.91 final drive swap the car was so quick it made my ***** strain.
haha, is that a technical term? I wonder if Michael gets out of his F2002 and says that to Ross Brawn.
