Hey everyone!
As a lot you you know, I've been working on custom-made individual throttle bodies for my turbo 16V project, and I'm finally done! It took a lot of designing and even more machining! And I'm very happy with the result. They have not been tested in the car, so for all I know, they might not work, but I believe they will. I'll soon find out!
The stock intake was cut behind the injector bosses and a flange was welded on to attach the trumptets. The butterflies are linked together with stainless steel shafts that are connected via backlash-free couplings. The trumpets have special bearings that are designed to withstand a great side load as encountered with high boost, and can be used in a wide temperature range without jamming the shafts. Everything was powdercoated for looks and durability. The throttle linkage works with the completely stock throttle cable. The TPS is mounted on the left side, but is not shown in this pic. Also, I have made a plenum that attaches to the plate where to trumpets begin. The turbo will feed the air into the plenum, then to each throttle body.
Take a look!


Later!
