New power elbow question
I just replaced my 04 elbow and throttle body with an 05-07 power elbow which eliminates the throttle body. Just wondering what you guys do with the two wire harnesses that are left just hanging and will this throw a code? thanks

if there is no pins in the connectors like mine and other peps then it will not throw any codes but i would however wrap them in elec tape and maybe zip tie them out of the way...

I love it plus the new one looks nice with the boost port and line. I covered my boost line with red plastic conduit and it looks great. I will take pics of it and my new gauge setup and post soon.

What year is your truck? Oh, never mind. I see it's an 04... What's the consensus on the 04 elbow of choice? Is it a code on the 04 if the throttle body gets unplugged and removed? If it's not a code thrower, and I don't think it is, you have the choice of using the 05-07 elbow that has better flow characteristics. That's what I'm using. Here is the original thread I started on my power elbow install.

I was a little confused on what you were saying by using the 05 to 07 elbow. It sounded like it was a better Ford part that could fit the 03-04. I have read the aftermarket advertisments. After looking at mine it appears the intakelbows replacement takes the place of the factory elbow and the throttle body. Right?
My 04 looks a little smoother than the 05 at least in pictures. With that said since the replacement takes the place of 2 items the flow angle id obviously better. I'm going to look at the "plug in" and see it it goes to anything before I make any decisions.
I like ideas which add power, drivability, milage, without doctoring up the power with the computer. Just my way.....Thanks Oz

Installed mone yesterday on my 05. It's been raining so I can't keep the rear end from spinning so I'm not sure of the sop difference. EGT seems the same also with no muffler. I will say up a steep grade with cc on it seems to run about 5 lbs less boost than before, so I assume that it is running more efficient. RPM"s seemed to have dropped a little at same speed also. I do believe that mpg will be a little better. Now I'm thinking about the fluidamper, I like the idea of a little added power with the benefit of longevity!
