Forced Induction SystemsDetailed discussions regarding cold-air intake systens, superchargers, turbo chargers, and other induction systems for your vehicle.
This is a discussion thread titled "throttle body screen", within the Forced Induction Systems forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
The one I would want to know about is the white one in the inside of the air box lid. It looks to be held in by plastic type rivets.
Yes you can just pull this one off carefully. I think I will try taking off the TB screen. Maybe it will give me .10 or so in the 1/4! (wishful thinking)

Well, I just pulled off the screen behind the throttle body. It took me about 20 minutes or so. What I did was removed the intake tube and intake plenum(attached to the intake manifold with 4- 10mm screws) as well as the electical plug. I pulled the plenum out of the way. Next, pulled off the screen darn carefully and cut the attached ring of the screen which consisted of 6 prongs holding the screen to the rubber gasket. I then carefully cut these prongs as close to the rubber gasket as possible with ultra fine wire snips. Reinstallation included using a thin coating of grease on both sides to make sure there is no air leak and reinstallation in the reverse order. A snap! Easily done.....Truck seems a little peppier with the screen removed. I will post some G-tech times tomorrow. Hope this gives me .10 or better so as to be the first into the 13's stock!!

I may need a trip to the hardware store tomorrow. Snip snip.

Just make sure you also have something to flatten the uncut portions of the prongs. Also make sure you position the O-ring carefully since now it has no "mojo" with everything being shifted and removed.
I have never had Burger, Steak, and Eggs for breakfast. This morning it was Eggs, Toast, Hashed Browns, and some OJ. JK LOLOL!
Good luck, BS&E!

With all the available power upgrades for the Tundra, I would not recommend doing this for an immeasurable amount of power. The screen helps stabilize the airflow and decrease turbulence. When I had my RX8, there were some owners who did this and the result was always worse mpg's, crappy idle and stalling. Get an intake and exhaust, but leave the screen there. Things could be different with the Tundra, but I wouldn't risk it.

On this note...does anyone know if putting some type of screen after the CAI 'cone' filter, before the MAF could help with the mpg? The pressure stabilization thing is new to me, but worth a look...when I put on my Airaid, I lost about 1.5 mpg, which I'd love to regain.
