heckler Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 i have the trac removed on my car, and had the Trac butterfly removed aswell. i suppose if your picky, it is a restriction in the air flow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Very tidy job there Gaz Edit - just realised this was a question, I thought that Trac removal was yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c8sup Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 the two pics are from my car, it has standard trac so if i change the two over will it be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Whats the process for deleting the stock traction control? I have just fitted RLTC and would like to remove the stock TC but unsure of the process. Is it just a matter of getting the butterfly removed and removing the ECU, I thought this had ill effects on the auto changes? And I know I could just press the button!!!

Homer Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I've seen it mentioned a few times on here that TRAC removal isn't advised for the auto's as it uses it to close the throttle between shifts (i..e smooth the change). It's 2nd hand info so not sure how correct it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c8sup Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 thanks homer, would like to find out for sure as i would like to replace mine with the chrome throttle body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=88542&postcount=7 This from many moons ago from Matt Harwood, removed butterfly due to RLTC, but it made the changes harsh. Refitted it in the end. I dont suppose it can be good for the autobox with the harsh changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
