So you want to spend a minimum of $129, for something that won't fix the problem? That makes no sense.

The cheapest fix is to move the MAF connection to after the BOV... this can be done for less than $20. That's still not the most ideal solution, which is to recirculate. Recirculating would cost you a maximum of $50 in parts, with maybe an additional $50 for welding.

Lag is the amount of time it takes from the moment the beginning of an event occurs to the the moment that event is detected. In this case the ECU sees the change in requested throttle, and then when conditions are met actually modifies the amount the throttle body is open.

You can change the system, for $10 in parts, to behave like a direct-cable system. But you will see no increase in power or efficiency, and will actually measure a loss.
There is a lot of DBW lag on the Tc, I got the DBW controller from descendant racing and it made a huge difference in response. It may be expensive to buy, but it is worth it to get ride of the lag.
