Hey Bill, I hope that you heal fast, take it slow for now, you will be going strong once you heal.
God Bless you Bill, Stan

Nicole thanks for the heads up........

Hopefully the prosthetic valve came in a proper yellow box with the correct Bosch part # (mitral: 0 280 117 134, aortic 0 280 117 135, pulmonic 0 280 117 136, tricuspid 0 280 117 137) and not in a plastic Wells bag. This is one application where OEM is pretty important.....

Get well soon Bill!

Hopefully they increased the size of the throttle body to let in more air

.. Wishing you a speedy recovery Bill...

Whether you went stock or with the larger 968 valves, I'm sure you'll notice the improvement in performance!

God Bless You Bill and I pray for a speedy and complete recovery for you.

Take it easy for a while Bill! Glad to hear things are OK. Thanks for letting us know Nicole.

Did you have a valve replacement ?
