Ya thats what I had to do I put on another butterfly and welded it on turned 90 deg. so it lines up with the stock TPS thats the best solution I could come up with
thanks Swaq
she ain't looking too pretty at the mo but once i've finished she'll be mint as she should have always been
here's the latest engine pic
Throttle body extension pipe = complete yayyyyyyyyyyy
i just gotta get the little wing washer for the tps made so the 7m tps will bolt on
As far as engine work.... last but not least - custom transmission cooler lines and she is ready to get fired up
but she won't be until she's been repainted
She will be getting painted Holden's Devil Yellow

wow im loving the build, post pics of your new tranny cooler setup im pretty interested in seeing how others are gonig about it, i have to start mine soon.
btw what happened to ideal? i know he's not on here anymore but what happened to that guy.
well... it's nothing flash, i may change it later on but it's just basically the lines run into the stock cooler out of that into an ebay funky looking cooler then back to the tranny, so by having two i'm hoping it should cool it considerably.
Have no idea about ideal... haven't spoken to him in a while... altho i haven't been on aim in a while lol

i'm hoping very soon she will be just one colour and the final bits n pieces are going together on the car
line pressure cable is being lengthened another 105mm to reach the 1uz tb
intercooler piping is undergoing buying and completing for the intake manifold side
custom trans cooler lines are being made as we speak
still undergoing the oil drain for the turbo, haven't decided on position yet
oil relocation kit (permacool & b&m thermostat) is hopefully on it's way to me, bigaaron was nice enough to buy it for me and ship it
once those things have been done i should be able to put oil and other fluids in and start her up
