What does this TB do for me?
GM's throttle body...
http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/sho...tail.cfm?id=80
featured at WCC on my 2001 A4 with Blackwing and GHL.
Will this get rid of the throttle lag inherent in all A4's?
GM parts direct has this for $245.
Would also need any tuning?
Thanks for any info.

Re: What does this TB do for me? (Casselvette)
Well, not to sound like a smart butt but when the throttle is depressed. :D
Ya' know, when you just blip the peddle and there's that slight delay
of revving up?
As far as the TB is concerned, I see all kinds upwards of $600 with
a core charge. I'm just curious as to the value of this one?

It has nothing to do with your throttle body. That is common in all the A4's that I have drove. Its just the tranny revving up for passing. Kaley

If you don't already, try driving around town (or below 60mph) in 3rd gear. It will be much more responsive.

Re: What does this TB do for me? (georgec114)
That TB looks like a waste of money. If you are going for a new TB look at a Shaner unit. Mark does excellent work. There are gains to be had from a well ported TB. I am not sure I would waste my money putting the car on a dyno just to post a #. But, my throttle responce is much better after installing it.
