Default Car feels shaky after new bolt on

I installed a 75mm throttle body and since then my car started shaking while i step on the gas but when i let off it doesnt shake. Now i happened to grab this throttle body off a car in the junk yard. It has the oil tube blocked off . Should i unblock it and connect the tube that goes from the valve cover to the throttle body?

I would hook the tube back up and perform a base idle reset.

i hooked the tube back up and did a base idle reset and it still shakes. also since i installed the TB my acceleration isnt as fast it feels sluggish along with shaking? i didnt think that was supposed to happen or is that normal. this is a troubling problem. anyone else . any ideas are welcome

First problem, junk yard. Did it have a tps sensor already on it? May it's no good.
Yeah, what's the need for a 75mm t/b and if you are still on a stock mani it's no doing a thing for you.

65mm is more than enough for a stock set-up. Did you use your old TPS sensor? The one on the new tb may be bad.

OK so have you tried swapping back to see if the problem goes away.
