And an updated engine shot. Notice the air filter is no longer by the battery.

I still want to add a resivoirs tank to the W2A system. Trying to find one small enough to mount by the heat exchanger. Thinking I might try one from a BMW. They use a smaller one on the twin turbo v8 cars. |

I think the one I got was from a GM FWD car. 2004 (ish). I forgot to get the plug that goes to the sensor on the bottom of the tank. I am going to wire it into the TEMP light on the dash. That way if the W2A system gets a leak, it will trigger the light.

Suddenly I have a 3000 rpm idle. The idle valve broke itself trying to adjust the idle down. Turns out the second throttle body is hanging open. The coupler between the two throttles is coming apart. I've had enough of this dual throttle setup. Ordered an intake manifold gasket and I'm going to install the stock intake manifold I have. I'm going to modify a Fiero throttle to work, it's a lot bigger than the factory sunbird throttle. Who knows, maybe ill have better performance with only one throttle how the engine was designed.

I have a few spare 2.8 TB and a 98 3800 (L67) TB if you want to try it. You can have the 2.8 ones if you are interested.

Thanks but I already purchased one. Hopefully I'll get my intake manifold gasket this week so I can get the stock stuff swapped back on. Got my decal today and installed it.

Thanks!
Hopefully my intake manifold gasket shows up tomorrow. If it does ill get the intake swapped over on Tuesday. I'm taking the stock manifold to work to clean it up tomorrow.

Swapped over the intake today. Changed the turbo oil return so its not running uphill and got the engine idling at 900-1000 rpm. Oh, and changed the oil. It almost feels a little faster with the single throttle.

Also noticed no more blue smoke at extended idle and the car doesn't smell like oil after a drive.

Got the Fiero throttle to modify yesterday. Have to order some silicone couplers so I can change the charge pipe routing then ill modify and install the Fiero throttle.
