At this point I'm really considering abandoning the drive by wire setup and going with a throttle cable. Staff at Renegade told me that its easier to use DBW since you just plug in some wires, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Most people use LS3 crate engines for their swap with respective throttle bodies, ECUs, and harnesses. In my case I got a truck engine which I'm trying to convert to a car engine. This pretty much leaves me with one option: an overpriced C5 Corvette TB, harness, ECU, TAC module and pedal, unless I want to make some Frankenstein setup of mixed parts. Personally I don't have enough experience with wiring to do that, and even the tuning guys told me to go with cable throttle. I guess I'll sleep on it tonight and see how I feel tomorrow morning. Meanwhile does anyone have any pictures of how the old Boxsters had the cable throttle routed?
