Some people have had their BBK TB get stuck. Also, the idle speed can be slow to come down. There are some FAQs on the BBK site talking about this.

You can get vacuum lock on the throttle plates. Or you might need to port match your intake so that the plate doesn't bind.

Also, you have to switch parts from your stock TB to the BBK, and it can be tricky for some people.

The Zabteck is a custom modified OEM TB that comes with its own TPS, motor, and spring. You don't have to switch parts off your old TB.
