What is that hole right at the top of the throttle body for? I saw it the other day and I couldnt remember what it went to on the car and the car and the throttlebody are about 5 miles apart right now so I cant run out and check.

Yup hole on the top is for idle adjustment, the hole from the throttle plates are filled with a metal putty type stuff from the auto parts store says its for intake manifolds and stuff. I installed it and love it i feel a good gain from 5500 to redline (7k since i'm S4). But that along with the posi i just installed should put me in mid 14s once i get on the dyno and get my safc tuned

It's looking good. Just do yourself a favor and drill/tap/screw plug those holes where the secondary plates were. #1 JB weld looks un-professional #2 JB weld getting sucked into the motor = teh bad

Next i think i'll try to port the exhuast manifold, Has anyone ever tried this? I don't want to buy a header since i plan on a turbo in about a month.
Yeah i think i will tap those hole and bolt em but the jb weld type stuff i used doesn't look bad at all i sande it smooth and it looks ok and i left like a mushroom on top to keep it from being inhaled

i mushroomed the top so its too large to be sucked in, but i pan on tapping and puting bolts in the hole since they don't feel like they will withstand boost without blowing out
