I'm happy with my audi 5000 TB.

Do the audi one and port match. Just watch out on the back side of the manifold--you can't port it straight, you have to slant port it you will com through the outside of you intake

Thanks.
Is the porting something you think I could do on my own? I need to take off the mani soon anyways to put in a new gasket.

Re: (Fluxwagen)

i used one from a 16V Scirocco.. and switched the throttle cable.. works well again be careful with the porting of your manifold. BTW by using this setup and switching cables i was able to cut out the A2 TB swap step of changing the retention springs for the plenums and circumvented the Valve cover throttle cable bracket..

On being able to port the TB it depends on how confident your are with grinding metal.. i would definatly recommend getting another manifold from a junkyard and using it as the test model.. and if it works out good and looks good just swap manifolds..

okay one more question:
should I port the A1 mani, or can I get an Audi intake that will fit the A1 and it already port matched?

I'm not sure which TB this is....
and I know my setup is different
than most of the other cabbies
but I thought I'd get a photo in this
TB thread

I got it with my intake manifold.
and some other bits so I don't
know much about it... it's working out OK for me
do you have a few different
TB's that you're deciding between?
do you have photos?
