throttle cable?
ive seen a few pics of cars without the throttle cable running around the front of the engine... maybe they hadnt put it back on yet, but is their anyway to change this? so it doesnt run so far around there, it annoys me. thanks

1.3L is not that small
thats probably not the throttle cable you see in the pics... it might be the hood latch release cable you are seeing... other than that i cannot imagine why anybody would do this

no.. i see them WITHOUT the throttle cable running around the front of the engine.. whats this have to do with the hood latch release? i would change how the throttle cable runs if i could, cause it just gets in the way.

wow i just reread that... i thought you said you see them running WITH the throttle cable in front of the engine... i just woke up so im out of it sorry
what year is your car... mine is a s4 and the throttle cable runs to the back of the throttle body on my car in other words the firewall side of it

My 87 Turbo 2 I just bought does that as well. My NA does not though from the same year. I think all you just can route it however you see fit without much trouble. I haven't gotten there yet but you can probalby just unhook it and then run it against the firewall a ways above the downpipe.

Boosting Again
the na throttle body if facing a different way then the turbo throttle body. there for the na can use a small throttle cable becuase it comes out of firewall dirrectally to TB. but the turbo has to go all the way around the engine because thats the way it attaches.

Two totally impractical solutions would be a complex, fabricated mechanical linkage or an electronic throttle (which the lastest MoTec ECU's can control).
