Hey guys whats up? I registered on this forum probably like 2 years ago and I don't think I ever posted before. I'm a big participant on 9th Gen Corolla. I own a 2005 Corolla XRS and it's a blast. My first car was a 1993 Corolla Wagon with a 5 speed. I bought it for 500 bucks from a friend and it had 270,000 miles on it. A year and a half ago the distributor blew and it was going to be too much to fix. It currently has 325,000 miles on it and since I have my new Corolla it just sat for a while. I swapped a 20 valve in there and it runs real strong. It's in the body shop right now getting painted and hopefully it'll be ready for HIN Chicago in a month. You can read about my entire project here:

For whatever reason it won't let me type 9th Gen Corolla up in that link, so just replace the ****'s with that.
Anyway... Down to business.
The engine runs good and all, it needs to be tuned and a few bugs worked out. The main thing I wanted to know how to do was remove the airflow meter and run open throttle bodies. I know you just can't un-plug it because the ECU needs that sensor to run. I see almost everyone else with a Silvertop running oppen ITB's. How the heck are they doing it?
For those too lazy to read through a 8 page thread on 9th Gen heres a few pics for ya.
Money Shot!

Exhaust. Surprisingly it bolted up along with a OBX hi-flow cat to the 4-2-1 AE101 header.
