    Default Opening the TB 100%

    Hi, was wondering if anyone (greenfoam..) could tell me if my tb here is opened 100%?
    I posted on How TO but this is more busy.

    The pics arent great..
    first pic is the tb in general, second is turning to open the tb, third is the tb open it appears to open right to the middle, also the 'stopper' on it hasnt been touched.
    Is there any harm or gain to grind it back a bit if its already 100%?

    thanks

    ok after accelerating to full on the pedal the butterfly opens 100% while exactly touching the stopper but now my question is, when doing so the cables, esp the right cable seems very loose and turns abit, is this normal?

    If its works, car idles fine changes gear fine then don't touch or grind it.
    maybe adjust the throttle cable if need be.

    personally i got a lot of greif from playin with the TB.
    If its sweet then there is sfa you can do but clean it.
    unless you go a 70mm TB or get it bored out os somthing, i dont know a lot about that.

    cheers
