Re: Audi throttle body...
The diesel single outlet manifold is not a LAME manifold, like the single
outlet K-lambda manifold.
If you compare the two side-by-side, you'll notice that the diesel clip-on
(and non K-Lambda cars in Canada and US) use a 4 into 2 into 1
configuration that very closely resembles the dual port manifold.
There's even a separator in the outlet that keeps the exhaust split for
the early clip-ons that used a dual downpipe (try finding one of THESE,
they just don't make 'em any more.) According to Raven's book, the dual
port and the 4-2-1 clip-on flow about the same. I expect there is an
advantage to the dual port for low end torque, as the two exhaust streams
are separate for a longer distance.
The K-Lambda manifolds use a 4-1 configuration with the shortest
and most restricted runners you'll see in a 4 cyl. VW... :)
A little research shows that:
In 1984 models, 49 state pickups and Canadian EN code motors used the
"good" clip-on manifold, part no 067 253 031 AB, while US EN, JF (carb)
and JH code motors, as well as California pickups, used the boat anchor,
P/N 067 253 031 AG.
CR code diesels (1.6l) used 055 253 031 T (no preheat provisions), as did
late CK diesels (1.5l). This clip-on was used from its introduction until
the end of 1984 US and German A1 NA Diesel production. It is a swap for
the gas clip-on, except there are no studs for the pre-heat collector.
I hope this information is helpful,
Drew (84 Wolfsburg with 84 4-2-1 clip-on, GLI downpipe)
