Default Skunk 2 throttle body help !!!!

Ok so I just got a 66 mm skunk 2 throttle body for my car and it started up fine and after adjusting the throttle screw and getting a nice idel I gave it some gas and it would bog down and shut off. We tried playing with the tps sensor ( I already matched the ohms with the multimeter ) but it didn't change much after the car still boged out. I'm re siliconing the tps but what other problem could it be ?

The car : b20b 1999 aem v2 intake skunk 2 intake manifold port and polished head and matched IM ws2 **** exhaust highteck header p28 ecu tuned

Second problem I have is my old throttle body had an up right virtucal bracket and with the new TB has a horizontal throttle body cable bracket. So basically I need the bracket that bolts on to the intake manifold that holds the throttle cable in position. Where can I order this from ? Should I just call them and ask if they have the bracket ? This all sucks because I thought it was a easy bolt on

Thanks

Then that would be a "no". Hence your problem.

You can bolt it on all day. The ECU doesn't have any clue what you're bolting on though. It still thinks the OEM equipment is stuck to the engine. And no, it doesn't "compensate" like people seem to think.

without the intake manifold being port matched to the TB he will see no gains away... have you tried putting your stock TB back on to see if the car still has the same problem. if it goes away then you know for sure its the TB if not then u know it has to be something else... was the TPS voltage up to spec closed and opened?

On a side note, would you install something like this at the tuner shop since it would cause problems without a tune?

Could it be a bad tps sensor that would make it run like this or would it be a for sure ecu problem
