woke up this morning and finally got tired of this plastic throttle assembly cover...why i did not do this 12 years ago is mind boggling to me...I will never have to replace it again.

also couple of days ago i worked worked with  Aaron at http://beust.spintek-poi.com/ to  dial in the 1000cc injectors with the 19t still on so it'll be easier to tune later.

I have been running without that black stamped steel piece for about three years now. No issues.

I have also been dicking around waiting to install the 20G I have had for about five years.  

A half a day with a welder and a chop saw, and I can put together the new DP and be on my way.

they started to design 850 in the late 80's so it has quite a few useless brackets...this one for-sure, intake manifold to the block, back of the starter to the block, PS upper bolt and bracket.  

 

as for your install

slowly started putting it on ...still have to redo my PCV to 5/8 ID and wait for intake to MAF housing silicone hose.
