well there are 2 nuts on top of the t-body. both hopefully if you got 
the right one,simply remove both nuts on both t-bodies and swap all 
the linkage. the audi has a completely different linkage setup, so 
just ditch it all for the stock linkage, it should all work 
perfectly, my t-body opens up all the way and engages a full throttle 
switch. Make sure to take up any slack via the throttle cable circlip
by the t-body
