The Audi 5000, A2, 16V Scirocco TB are all the same size as the Neuspeed
TB, and it is well worth the upgrade as long as you have a free flowing
exhaust, and especially with a long TT downpipe and a cam.

The Weber is a joke... It makes for a touchy throttle, and it doesn't let
as much air through as a 5K, A2, 16V, Neuspeed throttle bodies at wide
open throttle.

If you can get the Neuspeed TB, really cheap, go for it, but don't use
the adapter, instead open up the intake manifold to accept the larger
throttle body.
