It was very simple. It took me an hour becuase I was being VERY cautious and made the install 10 times harder than it should be. I could do another one in 15 minutes. The instructions Pepe sent me were fantastic.
FEW TIPS:
Be carefull not to tear the gasket cause you have to reuse it.
Use good set of pliers to remove and loosen the hose clamps. The hoses will be frozen onto the engine, so you will need to take your time with the pliers to loosen the hoses. Pinching the hose with needle nose pliers behind the nipple of pipe the hose slides onto will make the hose come off really easy. The pinching creates space and allows air to enter into the seal between the hose and the metal hose going back to the engine.
Honestly anyone can do it.

I am part of a group buy that started some time ago. I actually got sent the TB from the guy previous to me and I had to send my orignal TB back to ProFlow for them to get ready to send to the next guy on the list.
Like I said it is only a TB and won't turn your car into Diablo, but for the price you just can't beat it.

I spoke with Jim from Powerflo today - really nice fella. He said he thought extrude honing the intake manifold would be a nice compliment to getting the throttle body massaged. Jim also said someone on our board has had both done. Anybody out there have experience with this combo. Jim thought the combo might get as much as 10 HP. That would be sweet.
