When I did this years ago, I was on my own and the perception of what it did was strange. The engine ran smoother at WOT (wide open throttle) and that smoothness makes you want to feel that there is less power. But it was running faster too. So the first driving impressions can be a bit contradictory at first. That was my first mod, well after a K&N. The funnel mod came later.
Why smoother? The smoothness that results is a testiment to how much turbulance the stock TBTC creates. It is the stupidest thing I have ever seen! The turbulance is so bad that it creates uneven cylinder charging. I had cut my TBTC in two and eggshelled it from 4 directions. It was a lot of work. Lost that when my 95SET was rear-ended and written off. Now its in some scrap yard or melted down by now.
A larger sanding drum allows for better control. I prefer a medium grit 1" sanding drum and I used a flex shaft.
The inside of all of the turbo ducts and the IC get coated with oil and that repels water. The oil comes from the blow-by gasses. The soot in the blow-by gasses gets deposited in the TB where it closes and gets deposited in the IAC where the deposit gets very hard. The TB deposits wipe off with a mild solvent. The IAC needs blasting with carb cleaner.
