Hi guys,

I took out my intake and had the TB in open view, then I put the car to the ON position and had my brother depress the accelerator pedal in different ways (quick full throttle, slow full throttle, etc..)

People have said that the valve only opens to 60 or 80%, but it actually opened ALL the way.

Something else I notice was sometimes when his foot was already on the floor the valve was lagging and was slowwwwly opening at small increments, why is that?

So to those who think that toyota is keeping is tuned down, you are very wrong! the valve does indeed open all they way up!
