Defect Throttle Bodies

Hello, I am French and I have just seen a defect on my Throttle Bodies stock. I have a light between the shutter and the Throttle Bodies, how I can remove the light so that the Throttle Bodies is tighter. I do not have an adjustable tangent on the Throttle Bodies. Can you put photographs of the part to me orders. Thank you

Hi Bonsai....

You have an electronic TB in your car, and the plate will stay in a semi open
position when car is turned of. At idle, the TB Servo will close the plate completly. So the bottom line is.......Your TB is working properly.

You could uppgrade your TB to a M7 unit, that will give you better torque, horse power and amazingly better tip-in throttle response.

Hee's an image of our new V.2 unit, feel free to call, or email me for more info.

That is a nice looking piece. Is that center post also changed ? It looks thinner that my stock unit.

That's correct, we do cut down the center rod to keep turbulence to a minimum
in the throat of the TB. We will have some very telling CFD maps on our website
this week I hope, that will show the improvements in glorius color
