I put that TPS bushing in there, but it doesn't appear to affect anything regarding the operation of the TPS or the butterfly. I'm not quite sure why they included it.
I finally got the necessary vacuum adapter from a nearby Ford dealer ($7) and a couple TPS screws at a nearby hardware store ($.37 - hex head - not messing with philips head any more). I installed the TB in less than 25 minutes during my lunch break. To say the least, the install went well.
Only problem is that i cannot get the X to idle with the IAC electrically disconnected (just shuts down) - even after adjusting the stop screw. It was just so damn cold out (even in the garage) that i decided to reconnect the IAC and leave the idle where it is. Also, i couldn't spend anymore time outside to clean or physically disconnect the IAC to inspect, but i will sooner rather than later.
It's looks to be idling (at stops) at about 800 or so right now (w/ IAC connected), but my tach isn't always dependable so i've got to wait until i get home to read the info from my CarChip to see where it really is.
Thanks to all who provided assistance with my issues - it was definitely worth the wait! It feels great and i couldn't be happier spending $200 on the X!
