These valves seem to be a pretty big mystery from what I'm reading everywhere. I did read something about people noticing that running a Throttle body adaptation helps when switching out n75s. Apparently the motor has to adapt to the n75. i was just throwing one in and romping it down the street for a few minutes and then changing to another one. Maybe I need to redo these tests with a TBA.
I'm gonna contact United Motorsports and see what they think.

As an update to the thread, I'm working on getting some nice wheels with my tax return money this year
I had a set lined up, but the company informed me that their site was wrong and they do not carry the offset I need. I love the snowflakes, but the 6" wide wheels do not cut it with this 1.8t (even with the super nice Dunlop Direza tires I put on them) I spin through 1st, 2nd, and sometimes 3rd. I'm trying to get a set of 8" wide wheels (or maybe 7"). I prefer 14" but nobody makes 14's anymore
probably going to have to go 15". 15x8 et 12/15 is what I'm shooting for so that I don't have to run spacers to clear my coils.

Finally decided on some specs and purchased some wheels with my tax return money
I would have liked to keep as much rubber as possible on the tire for traction, but in order to fit the wheels under the fenders, I had to stretch the tires a little. Mk1s are just not made to fit a lot of rubber under the front fenders
15x8 et20 w/ no spacers wrapped in 195/45/r15 Toyo Proxe T1Rs. Had to remove the helper springs in the front.
