i haven't bothered and have had no problems, the harder you hit the gas pedal the faster they open anyway!

all they do is make the on/off throttle change a bit less abrupt, right?

No, at low throttle openings they speed up the gas flow due to their restriction, which improves torque and drivability at low speeds.

ooh yea, kinda like an exup valve for the inlet... why would you want them locked open then? surely thats a bad thing cause youd have to stay high in the revs...
