It's good to hear that it resets like it's supposed to.

Yeah and it did it on the first try. Damn pedal dances with this car can get frustrating at times. I didn't do any other resets, just the idle one.

Why is everyone concerned about fuel economy when dealing with a performance modification?

I'm not so concerned about it, but I am happy to report my findings to those that are interested since I do monitor my fuel economy regularly.

I may have posted in the wrong thread, possibly on the wrong forum. There's at least 4 threads regarding these TB's and I've seen people ask about fuel economy on multiple occasions. Maybe it was on my350z . Its like people want a mod that makes their cars faster yet improves MPG's at the same time.....

Anyways, I saw the subject was brought up yet again so I had a "wtf are these people thinking" moment. I understand that you agreed to record what you find, and that your not one of those asking about gas mileage.

I think those of you that think questions about fuel economy come from a place of worry are overthinking the question. I ask because I know every inch/quirk/nuance of my car and I want to be as knowledgeable as possible about every aspect of a potential mod. So my questions come from a place of education not worry.

That being said my mileage is exactly the same as before, I've put about 700 miles on the new TB and when I keep my foot out of the gas pedal I've seen no difference either better or worse.

Are you referring to the pedal ecu reset? I thought you don't have to do that once you get an Osiris tune? Please educate me

Just finished installing mine. Had 850 idle and after a couple attempts at idle air relearn she's idling properly at 600. I go through 2.5 tanks of gas a week. I haven't driven it yet and won't until I leave for work in the morning. My review thread will be posted after 1000 miles (1 week for me)

Last I checked 650 +-50 meant 600 to 700 unless my grade school math teacher taught me wrong
