Throttle body fun!

Am going to pick up a A2 or 16V throttle body gasket if the dealer has one. Got a Audi 5000 throttle body to give my car a bit more pep.
Can't wait to get it in, hopefully with my procratination I'll have it done by the end of my 6 day work week.

Personally, I have not done any serious performance mods-I am curently putting a nice new top on my bunny, and that hass eaten into our fun money.
Owning three VW's is a very expensive occupation! But I would love to hear how it works for you-perhaps in the future I'll be able to do something similar.

Let us know how it works for you, or better yet, if you happen to take pics to accomodate a performance update, feel free to post them up here

I'll see if I can borrow a friends digital camera. Other wise I won't have any pics.....

I've decided to postpone this. Going to fix my back up lights in the main time. Going this way so i can pick up an intake manifold from the junkers and polish it up nice and pretty like. This will also leave me with a stock intake, that hasn't been ground inside to match the new throttle body, that I can put back in if need be. I think it's a smart move on my part.

Is the part on the tranny for the reverse lights broke? Because thats what I think are wrong with mine and I would also like to fix them.

yup, I'm sure that what it is....even though I still haven't fixed it

procrastination

I think I"ll even put off checking that spelling

One thing to look for is if you upshift light isn't working properly. The back up lights and the upshift lights use the same switch on the tranny.

make sure if you put that throttle body on you get a fuel enrichment module, otherwise you'll be running lean
