Thanks Steve. This helps alot. Rick (my machinist) had ported/polished/3angle valved my head, and was wanting to tweak my intake (throttle body, injection, etc).
I just got my new European Car mag in the mail, and reading the articles about the VWs, I noticed that a couple of them referenced a big throttle from Velocity. So it's off to Velocity's web site for more info. So, does anyone have a 1.8 16v throttle body they'd want to sell cheap/donate for experimentation?
