FIAV bypass plate install

[Rice80]

Just received my FIAV bypass plate in the mail from Level Zero, I'm going to order a new FIAV seal as well as a new BISS, o-ring and cap all from RTM Racing.

1) Is there any other seals/gaskets I should replace while I"m in there?

2) Any tips? I assume its pretty straight forward, just unbolting the TB, but I've never done it before.

Be careful when removing the screws for the FIAV assembly. They're usually abnormally tight and it's very easy to accidentily strip out the heads of the screws.

While its off you may as well get a can or 2 of cleaner and make sure its all free of gunk before you put it back on! Probably will need the gasket on both sides of the TB depending on it its turbo or not, maybe only one. Good luck!

Its a 2G Talon with a 6 bolt turbo motor.

He was also stating you'll need 2 gaskets for a turbo TB since it had the elbow, a NT TB has an extension for a coupler.

Yup I saw that, but thought I would rather order a bypass.

Even though it does the same exact thing for free and no worries about a leaking seal either?

I've done this mod to quite a few TBs all without issues and was made available by a very reputable shop as well.

That's what the search button is for and I do believe I mentioned it in the article too.

 

[OH91awd]

well it did say not for a daily driven car is the reason i asked.

 

[LiquidX]

What said that?

Just about any mod you can buy 'isn't for a DD car'.

It says ics removal isn't for a dd not the block off plate.

Yeah, I actually sourced replacement metric Allen bolts instead
from Lowes.
