2.4 throttle body install

I just installed a 08 2.4 TB on my car and without a tune it has noticible gains. I am getting tuned this week ( after I install my LSJ DP on monday) to get my fuel trims where the should be and bump redline to 6800. Will post vids when all done. I guess what im trying to say is intake exhaust and 2.4 TB are well worht every penny if you plan to stay NA.

uhhh a 2.4 throttle body without a tune will throw your a/f way off, i would recommend taking it back off until you get your tune for it

lol


hes a 09 which means his motor is the 2.2l LAP which has the 2.4 tb and mani. the mani is the second generation 2.4 mani. which means its a two piece design. no like the old style one piece.

so basically i think he put on the same tb
