Throttle Bodies
« on: 25 April 2006, 09:00 »
A quick question.....

Are the 8v and 16v throttle bodies interchangable?
Mk2 8v and 16v.

Always looking for bits!

how about a mk3 2.0 8v throttle body? or a G60 throttle body? would there be any advantage, anyway?

mk3 2.0 would be no good as its designed for digifant injection, as is the G60 one.

Audi ones apparently work, but don't ask me where to get one!

i think g60 ones wont because the throttle body comes off the right hand side of the engine as opposed to the left on a digi 8v so i presume to fit it u would either have to mod it or get the inlet manifold aswell. i duont actually know tho im just guessing........

Certain Audi throttle bodies will fit but they're pretty much identical to 16v golf ones.

what about on a digifant 8v?

What I mean is I have an 8v digifant mk2 gti, would there be larger digifant based throttle bodies that would fit/work on the digifant engine...
