has anyone used a custom 16v throttle b. I know a few years back you could buy a webber 16v tb to replace the standard item and it gave good results ,
the item im looking at is a TM TUNING RSD custom tb.
its said to give about 5hp ,but mostly outstanding throttle response. :o
looking forward to your views?
regards kevin

this is what i got back of them when i emailed a while ago
Hello, Craig
The basis of the modification is to increase the overall velocity of air that moves through the throttle body, this is done by making very exact cuts to the walls of the chamber and removal of portions that limit the maximum air velocity.
Horsepower is not the primary goal with throttle body modification but rather efficiencies with the intake system and a great difference in the base response of the engine under throttle. Though these effects do make a increase in power, this increase is only a "plus" when combined with the achievement of engine combustion efficiencies. There is a great increase in throttle response, intake efficiency and take off time.
If you are interested in getting the work done just let us know.
Thanks
Pascal

hi gambit did you get it done? they asked me to send them a body for reworking at a cost of?60 seems fair.
hoping to send one off to them soon as i have a spair of my last golf that i converted to carbs,
