I thought about that, but the thread in the hole should keep it secure.Looks like it should make a good bit of difference. Am I the only one who would be worried about the solder falling out though?

Tbh, I was surprised that there was a wedge on there, I don't think I've ever seen it before.

Ah yes, of course. I was thinking he'd smoothed the hole for some reason when he's just cleaned it up
I'm going to have to go and look at my 52mm now whilst I've got the filter off to see if it's the same setup.
Refitting the throttle body is simply the reverse of removal.
Just make sure you reconnect the throttle cable first then fix the four bolts and finally the two rubber hoses not forgetting the throttle position sensor plug like I did first time wondering why the car was sitting at 1800 revs in idle.
After moving things around or replacing a throttle body you need recalibrate the throttle position sensor.
To do this follow this simple procedure;
1. With the engine off, insert the key and turn to position 2, all the instrument check lights on, without starting the engine.
2. Press and release the accelerator pedal 5 times, using all of the accelerator pedal travel.
This will let the ECU calibrate the throttle position.
3.Turn the ignition off, remove the key and wait for the ECU to power down saving the new settings. This normally requires about 20 secs.
4. Start the car in the normal way. The throttle should now be reset.
Go for a drive, but do remember to let the oil temp get up before revving over 3000 rpm, now enjoy the difference, more torque at the low end and a more responsive throttle. With my K&N 57i I could also hear a difference. :cheer:
