you take off the plate on the top of the throttle body (4 screws holding it in) then you will see a brass plate right after where the intake pipe connects, remove that plate (remove the 1 screw holding it in and pull it up) and wa la free horsepower.....you will feel a much better pedal response instantly...its kinda mind blowing

I never really noticed any major improvement when I took mine off. But might as well, you save like 1gram of weight!

dude.....you'll lose mad horsepower for real.......insted of the air being directed in there it just slams around or something.......I did it to mine when I still had the pathetic dpfi and it was a NOTICEABLE difference....pretty bad when you can notice it.......
