The gf is out of town this weekend at her aunt/uncles for her annual mother/daughter trip so I have all weekend to do anything I want without interruption. So I figured I mind as well work on the evo, going to start soon. Not doing anything at work but surfing the internet so I figure I mind as well go home and take a cat nap then start working on the car.

Question: How can I tell if my TB is lock-tited? It's installed now, but for some reason I am paranoid. MAP did it and I am sure they put loc-tite on it but can i see that from the inlet side or no?

I was just reading another old thread on evoM and there was a bunch of TB's that were ported that had this issue (can't remember what brand, buschur maybe) of people losing motors to stupid tb plates coming loose.

If I can't tell from the outside, I will just ask map if they do it and assume they did as I don't want to uninstall. Just curious if you should be able to see it from the inlet side as I haven't put my LICP on yet.

Anyway, I will update this weekend with progress.
