THROTTLE BODY UPGRADE (or replace)

[italiansanto]

Lol, haven't been a member of the forums for long so I don't have a build thread.

But instead of hating, you can just read the DIY or move along. [emoji50]

I read the DIY and I'm not hating. Take it as constructive criticism man. Point being is if you're going to talk the talk, you've got to walk the walk my friend. The proof is in the pudding and it appears the cook is out of commission. In other words show us the proof or it didn't happen.

Did you ever do the throttle body adaption via vag com?

Well, update. It wasn't a vacuum leak. I had to adapt the throttle body. I didn't use vagcom. Old method, which most will disagree but it worked:

1. Open drivers door.
2. Open hood.
3. Put key in ignition.
4. Turn to ACC.
5. Leave for 3 minutes.
6. Close hood.
7. Turn it over.
8. Enjoy your car starting on the first crank again.

The ecu adapts the throttle body every time you turn the key on and off

That's not true if it was what would be the point of the throttle body adaption in vag com. It will re adapt if you reset the check engine light if your apr tuned and use the cruise control stalk.

well since you didn't do it till now that would most likely explain why it wouldn't start on the first try all the time.

Not sure what he needs to prove. Let's keep it on topic.

Wish there was a way to still use a uni dv relocation kit with this tb.

I just want to know if this will increase HP on a K04 with no extra modifications....

It's not unless you get a custom hose made like unis with a bigger diameter to fit on the larger tb.

Interesting on the throttle body alignment with Vagcom.

Isn't this throttle 70mm and the coupler for the uni is 3" which is 76mm. So why wouldn't it fit?

Look at the pics on the first page size difference you can clearly tell that the new tb is bigger then the oem one from the side comparison. The uni hose was ment to fit on the oem tb and it fits snugged on it I doubt it would fit this 70mm.

In for results. I miss the throttle response of my NA cars. CCTA here with a K04. If it indeed does improve throttle response its worth it for me.
