i dont no if it would work on us AGU boys as the throttle cable might hit the alternator but ive read that you can twist the 1.8t throttle body to gain better air distribution.
is this correct or a load of old bull?
this is what it says:

Turned Twisted Throttle body
The original position of the throttle body pushes the incoming air against the top where it is forced to each cylinder.
Some people believe you will get a more proportioned amount of air if you turn the throttle body clockwise so that the incoming air runs against the front of the intake manifold. That way cylinder four is getting an even distribution of air.
This is up to you if you want to try it out. The throttle body is square so the only altercation you would have to make is running a longer vacuum hose from the throttle body to the check valve that it is originally connected to. If you are doing this on a Audi where the TB is on the drivers side of the car you would turn it clockwise.

has anybody tried this?

Sounds like a load poo in my opinion mate but I love being proved wrong :evil:
I wouldnt bother doing mine if im honest.

Tbh mate I dont think it would make any diffrence and if it did iam sure everyone would be doing it as it is so easy.

Can't see how this improves it, problem I have wit vwvortex is they swear by some things, such as DV relocation easily 3-6bhp... I noticed nothing, surely on a fully open throttle at 90degree the butterfly valve would make no difference and at the end of the day. Would like to see solid proof if it works, but reading this seems to make no difference:

i see it as the air still flows through the same way so cant see it working and as said would like to see some solid increases to make my mind up
