ive read loads tonight on this, lots of post about WMI killing TB's but mine is only running rough on idle, its rapid otherwise but running very rich (im guessing as it pops and farts)
Worth putting the pipes back on...?? Kept mine on with a pressure still feeding in and no problems tried without and ran like a bag of poo. N249's have been known to throw up weird faults! 
Pop and farting could also be to much air.... EDIT (which of course would cause it to run rich.....yes I'm special I know!!! )

ran very well for 2 days though.... if it is that then is strange
it sounds like its sucking in lots of air at idle

thanks Ed i might borrow it if i cant find it... when i say sucking lots i mean through the filter.
after lots of playing i finally managed to get the TB to adapt. its now idling fine.
something obviously went a bit weird for a minute there but it now seems fines......fingers crossed.

IF WMI is known for killing throttle bodies, can't you add it post throttle body but pre inlet manifold?
possibly...actually yes.
i had another terrible drive home

Do all the codes go away if you run without WMI for a while ... would be interested to know what it's actually doing to the TB to cause those errors!
car is sorted... The throttle body was totally naffed.Greg @ totalvag has lent me a TB until my new one arrives on saturdayish
Totalvag have always been extremely helpful, I can't say enough good things about them. It's so nice to have a tuning company like that on your doorstep. Thanks Greg
glad she's all good again!

Yup - I have nothing but good words to say about them, people and attitude, prices and service are all spot on
Leighton buzzard - just off the high street, come off the A5 at the flying fox - head in to LB and it's on the right on Baker Street
What he said try them matey, you won't be disapointed...
Ben, no spacers buddy. Sorry for delay

Good work it's running again mate, are you going to change the WMI location or was it just a duff throttle body that would have died anyway?
