I did this on my last ABA swap, but the problem with doing this is
that the idle switch isn't engaged when the throttle is closed...

Yup, verified working with a continuity test.  The only reason I used
this throttle body is that I needed to get this engine together and in
the car quickly, with as little cash as possible.  The only TB I had
that actually had working "switches" was this one...   I may be able
to pillage an Audi or later VW TB tomorrow at my friend's shop when I
get the car safetied...

Later,

Mark.
