So I did swap the OEM TB back on today after cleaning it and taking a dremel to the coolant hose barbs. After 10 minutes driving, I could tell it was already so much smoother. Tip in feel wasn't as harsh, the overrun is completely gone, and the transition to deceleration is not as aggressive. I was told I could probably make an aftermarket TB work if I were to have the car dyno tuned, otherwise it's just too difficult to get drivability nailed down. So I think I'll leave it on for now.
On a different topic, now that I've been able to play with the car a bit more, the difference between 90% throttle and 100% throttle feels like all the boost. Does the wastegate just dump everything unless my foot is on the floor? In partial throttle, just chillin', it feels like my car did before the charger. Only when my foot hits the floor does it scoot. I guess I felt it was going to be a bit more torque-y in higher partial throttle positions. What are all of your experiences with this?
