i bought an intake on ebay and im gonna be installing it this weekend and when i take every thing out i wanna clean out the throttle body. my brother told me i should take it off and clean it and pop on a new gasket. i really didn't wanna go through all that i was just gonna clean it while it was still on the car. if that ok to do or so i take it off and clean it ?
Did any of you guys do it before ? if so how hard is it to take off and how much did u pay for a gasket cuz advanced and autozone told me $15-$20. thats alot for a damn gasket.
Cleaning it on the car is hard to do right. Take it off, bench clean it, and get the gasket. your TB is one of the major places that you can lose power, why not do it right for an extra $20? You spent all that money on an intake that will give you almost no gain unless you have done some major mods, and can't spend a few dollars on a gasket and TB cleaning that will probally give you more HP increase than the intake?
the intake was cheap and yeh im gonna do it right i just don't feel like blowing alot of cash on it right now. i'll try the dealer to see how much they cost. i go to dealer last cuz most of the time they are more expensive then the parts stores.
well hopefully Cr@zy Squ33 is right when he says they have it for $9. i'll go check it out tomorrow and find out. i'll post back and let ya know how it goes when i install it this weekend.
