Well, I'm not totaly sure if I need to replace the throttle body or not yet.

My indie (who I'm starting to have a little less faith in) said some time ago that they suspected the throttle body of having some issues and some of the codes they pulled were pointing to it.

I was having, and sometimes still am having, erratic boost issues. Base boost when cold most of the time and intermittent base boost again throughout the day. Now I'm seeing less of a base boost issue but a reduced boost issue. Sometimes it's down to almost base but many times it will be reduced to somewhere between base and max. I've replaced just about every other thing related to this that even hinted of being bad (bpc, all vacuum lines, NTC, bypass valve, fuel pump, fuel filter air filter, downpipe, O2 sensor). I'm going to unscrew the knock sensor this weekend and drive around for a while to see if anything improves. If it doesn't make a diference then I'm down to the throttle body, ECU box, or APC/DI box (please let me know of there is more that I should be checking). I have a spare ECU box sitting around that I will try out soon. I've been having trouble tracking down an exact match for a used APC/DI box to test.

So, after all that, if I can get an almost new TCS throttle body for a really good price, I may just replace mine, no questions asked. It's got 215,000 miles on it so I imagine that the probability of it flat out dying is getting greater every day.

Thanks for the info.
