[TECH] 3a dyno in and I am disappointed, sorta...
Well, they aren't used by the KS ignition, but the CIS ecu still needs them.
Do me a huge favor.
Splice into the voilet wire that runs from the KS WOT switch to pin 8 on the KS ecu. This wire should have 12V when the switch is tripped. Run the wire from the splice to a small relay. Connect it to the relay coil. Ground the other side of the relay coil. Now take the two wires that used to go to the old WOT switch and connect them to the two contacts on the relay that are shorted when the relay is activated.
shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes to rig this up for a quick test.
Or better yet, just take the two wires that used to go to the old WOT switch. Short them together. With the engine idling the idle should improve slightly when they are shorted. Anyway, short them together and go for a test drive and see if the engine has more power.
If that works rig up the relay.

OK. That addresses the KS ignition switches.
What about the wires that went to the WOT switch that was on your car before
you swapped to the Audi 5000 throttle body?
Where are they connected?
