lol,its a cell phone pic I took last night.
I have an S5 N/A throttle body and I compared them side by side and they arent the same but it bolts up to the S5 UIM (with out the spacer). I want to know what the heck it is.

I'll try to get better pics of it,and a pic of it side by side with the NA S5 TB.I noticed that it only has 3 butterflies opposed to having 5 like the NA S5.
Also it looks the front two were never there.

well here are more pics (I hope they are more help)
notice,unlike the stock S5 TB, this only has 3 butterflies.and it looks like a crappy bore job also.The holes where the spindles and butterflies would mount are deleted.
this is also a difference (look at the stud holes)
stock S5 TB
and the throttle body in question.
anybody have an idea what this throttle body came from or anything?

Do not bump your posts after less then 24 hours. Or ever really. Bump are not allowed.
This throttle body has been hacked up and the tertiary set of butterflies removed.
Your pictures still aren't that good. You need to take a picture of the TPS side, and the opposite side. As well as the front and back directly.
I still think it's S5.

That last picture makes me think it could be an S4 NA TB with an S5 TPS attached. The pictures are horrible 
, but if the bottom of the TB was machined down like it seems to be, then it could have been so it'd fit on S5 manifolds. The S4 NA TB will hit the VDI chamber if not ground down.
Still, I can't completely tell if it even was machined by the pic quality. I'm sure you can tell us though.

That's called the throttle body mod. Supposed to allow for better airflow by removing the 2 outer butterflys. Mod works OK unless one happens to remove the thermowax unit and you have to start and warm the car when it's cold out. I did that on my FC, lasted about a week til I got tired of waiting nearly 5 minutes for the engine to warm up so it wouldn't die when I let off the accellerator.
