Haha, I figured I would get a few questions about the ITB's. These were purchased and installed by the previous owner. I bought the car from him while it was still being tuned. The car was then shipped across the country and I removed them after ~100 miles of driving.
The tune wasn't bad at all. Idle was almost as smooth as stock. Huge improvement in throttle response and mid-range torque compared to a stock car.
My main reasons for removing them were: 1) The car was tuned on the east coast on 93, and AZ gets the 91 octane ACN gas - so retuning was going to be a thing, and 2) I was planning to add a JRSC.
With all of that said, I think that some of the reputable tuners in this community can absolutely make the ITB's work great with this platform. You just have to be realistic with what you will get. You're not going to set any NA hp record. But the car is going to sound amazing and you're probably not going to run into very many other people with the same setup.
