The GoWesty Buslabs TB is a huge improvement over stock IF you are running your own EFI and not running Djet.
You need to change out the throttle sensor from the 2 position sensor the Vanagons used. You need to modify the arm using the arm off your existing TB. And you need top open up the plenum. I used an exhaust pipe expander and then used a small chasing hammer to tap it back into shape. From there I used a thin smear of RTV instead of trying to find a gasket to fit. On my 2056 using MSII, I was able to open up a whole new row of fueling bins on the top end of my fuel map. Going from 45mm to 52mm is significant, and it may not work with Ljet or Djet. With programmable EFI its not a problem. Zach |
