2.2 throttle body _ will i notice a difference

[BobbyT]

just bought a Audi 2.2 throttle body, now will it make that much difference to my 1.8 gti?

well half way through fitting the new throttle body, just need a new gasket and that should be it! cant wait to see the difference! will let you all know what its like!

I did the same to my mk1 1800 some years ago and it did seem to make a difference although i had to sod about swapping the springs over from the old one as the 2.2 ones were too weak .
I believe the other mod you can do is to fit a warm-up regulator that has a vacuum take off as I have been told that it too can make a difference

just been out for a blast! it pulls like a train from 3000 and just keeps going! made a big difference, my car already has a manifold and zorst! still running a standard air filter though! best 30 quid i have spent! loads more mid range, should go even better when i get round to getting a k & n and drilling me air box!! 
now the only trouble i have is that it idels at 2000! i have wound the screw in at the far side of the manifold right in but it hasnt really helped! how can i get it to run at about 1000 rpm? rob

On that subject , the other thing that can make a difference is to adjust the CO to 3.0% at 3,000 rpm if you can afford to ,as it drinks the fuel but makes it go a lot better from what I can remember

does anyone know how i can get it to idel at 1000/1200? it idels at 2000 now!!

Is the basic setting correct on the throttle stop adjuster , as someone may have fiddled with it previously .
Also does it return fully to the stop . As I said in a previous post the 2.2 springs tend to be a bit softer/weaker than the Golf ones ,at least that's what I found when I did this mod.

where is the throttle stop adjuster? the springs where fine, both butterflys closed and opened fine!
