I thought what I had was an x-link, but maybe not. I have an adapter from the stock plug to the 90mm tb (no box, just plug to plug) Then I replaced the module on the drivers side firewall, just under the fender brace. Is this basically the same thing?

Not quite the same thing. The way you have it, your throttle blade will not open to 100%, more like 90%. The innovative X-link makes for 100% TPS when converting to a 90 from a 78. Do you get a ton of HP out of this...debateable, however you will now be flowing more unobstructed air into the motor so it sure doesn't hurt. Do a search and you will come up with plenty of reading material.

OK, what is the module that I replaced for? I got it from 05Crew when I bought his blower so sorry for not know exactly what I've got. I have searched, but mostly just found talk, never anything pointing out what was what. Thanks
