#1  if you don't port match the intake to the TB - it
is a waste of time.

#2  according to Techtonics, dyno testing says the
bigger neuspeed/A2 Golf/Audi 5K TB port matched to the
TB (they're all the same) gets you about 3-5 hp tops.

TIP: when installing the bigger TB, replace the screw
idle adjuster with the hex from your old TB - this
will make idle adjust much easier ;)

Also, when you add more air, (bigger TB, bigger air
flow meter, etc) - you'll probably need to adjust the
fuel mixture.
