[Diy_efi] Strange EFI

[Scott Pearson]

Funny you should mention using a QJet as a throttle body. After looking at
the prices of the big aftermarket TB's I've been thinking of using a gutted
electronic QJet as a throttle body on a PFI system. TPS is already there,
just add an external IAC.

Anybody tried something like this?
