Hey guys, ssjkouru here long time lurker, few time poster.
I've had a throttle problem lately. When I step on the gas the car is slow to keep up with it. I can step on and off the gas before the car reacts. Its not a fuel problem (i'm actually getting WAY to much fuel as is) at all I can assure you that. I checked the tps and it checked out alright. I think it may be something I did. I cleaned out the throttle body and put it back together afterwards shes slow to get up and go. WOT is in good shape and checks out as well.

Thanks in advance for any help you give me guys. :cool:
 
I did a boost leak test and it actually was successful we found some poor spots and with the test were able to find a peice of rubber hosing that was totally crapped out. We had to make due at the moment and just made sure it was on as best as possible. Any other things you'd suggest?

When you say "put it back together" what exactly do you mean? Did you replace all shaft seals and oring?
