[QUOTE="SC Heaven, post: 14263415, member: 142287"] Well, after a full blowerectomy last night, the problem was found. Somehow when I was installing the new TB the first time, I missed a piece of gasket when cleaning the surfaces and the blower ingested a nickel size piece of old gasket. There were several other much smaller pieces that fell out as well. That explains the noise the car was making, but it was amazing that such a small piece was choking the car. My best guess is the gasket was wedged in between the front of the blower housing and one of the rotors and it was slowing the rotors down (just a guess). So with all of the crap out of the blower, I cleaned out the valley, cleaned and resealed everything, put it all back together and she is back to purring like a big angry kitten. I was relieved it wasn't more serious, as the sounds it was making had me convinced the blower was near death. In the end it cost me nothing more than time, but I (re)learned the importance of prepping and cleaning everything properly. Thanks all for the help and suggestions with this. :coolman: [/QUOTE]
