I use this on small stuff with the appropriate bit and haven't stripped a screw yet.

I've always managed to get those cam cover bolts off by hand. (I've seen both T25 and Phillips/JIS, actually.) The worst part is that they come loose with this horrifying "POP!" that makes you feel like you broke your wrist.
These are one of the applications i break the Felo Ergonics out for, every time.

I'm having some issues with the junk 2 tb. It kind of seems like the throttle plate is sticking? Kinda scary.
The car sometimes won't drop to normal idle RPM after cruising. RPM will stay at 2500-1200 range until I blip the throttle. Then it drops back to normal.
The other thing is sometimes my idle oscilates really bad and the car will die. But it's not constant. I am going to play with the idle VE table and see what I can do about that.
The last thing is that sometimes the idle will increase from 800 to 2k by itself, and as soon as it kits 2k it jumps back down to 800 immediately.

I've heard you can also drill a new hole to adjust the location of the throttle cable.

Most likely just a coincidence, but my stock 2000 does the same thing from time to time. This is with stock ecu and TB... Most likely unrelated, but an interesting datapoint none the less.
